"Breaker of Chains" is the third episode of the fourth season of HBO's medieval fantasy television series Game of Thrones. The 33rd episode overall, it was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Alex Graves. It first aired on HBO on April 20, 2014.

In the episode, Tyrion Lannister is arrested and imprisoned for Joffrey's murder, while Sansa Stark is able to escape King's Landing with Petyr Baelish's help; Tywin Lannister asks Oberyn Martell to sit as a judge on Tyrion's trial. Davos Seaworth contacts the Iron Bank of Braavos. In the North, a wildling raid leaves only one survivor, who turns to the Night's Watch for help. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen lays siege to the city of Meereen. The episode's title refers to the last scene in the episode where Daenerys catapults broken chains into the city of Meereen, depicting herself as the Breaker of Chains. The episode received critical praise overall, but triggered a public controversy due to a scene that shows Jaime raping Cersei Lannister.

The episode marks the final appearance of Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon).
