Sacred Ground is an album by American jazz drummer Whit Dickey recorded in 2004 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label. Dickey leads a quartet with Roy Campbell on trumpet, Rob Brown on alto sax and Joe Morris on double bass instead of his usual guitar, the same lineup as the previous album Coalescence.
