Heavier Than Heaven (ISBN 0786865059) is the name of a 2001 biography of musician Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of the grunge rock band Nirvana. It was written by Charles R. Cross.

For the book, Cross attempted to contact as many of Cobain's friends and family as possible, and received a significant amount of input from Cobain's wife, Courtney Love (although neither Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl nor Cobain's mother contributed to the book). As such, the book is possibly the most detailed account of Cobain's life on record, and is arguably the "definitive" Cobain biography.

Cross took the name "Heavier than Heaven" from a tour Nirvana did with the band Tad in the UK. The lead singer, Tad Doyle, was very obese; the name which was thought up by the tour promoters, was meant in part to poke fun at the inaccurate fact that Tad alone weighed more than all of the members of Nirvana put together.
