A Crack in the Sky is a (usually jagged) rent or rift in the sky, as if the atmosphere was a physical dome with a gap in it. If one is seen during the daytime, it's normally black; at night, the crack is usually brilliant white instead.
Its appearance typically signals that something very, very bad is happening, and that whatever caused the break is powerful enough to mess things up on a metaphysical scale — that the very fabric of reality is about to fall to pieces. Sometimes, this may also signal a breakage in whatever keeps dimensions separate from each other, allowing things to come through the newly opened gap.
In real life, this is of course impossible (the sky isn't a physical object capable of breaking), but it doesn't prevent it from happening in fiction.
Compare Screen Tap, when it's the fourth wall that cracks. See also The Stars Are Going Out for another sign of doom that happens in the sky. Subtrope of Signs of the End Times. A Cosmic Flaw may manifest as one.

Devil May Cry 5: In Mission 17, the scenery is an illusion of Dante's childhood home, complete with cracked sky, whose bits of it occasionally fall down as the boss fight progresses. The illusion completely shatters when V and Urizen fuse back into Vergil.

Bleach:
This can happen when hollows (such as Arrancar or Gillian/Menos Grande) enter the World of the Living (Earth) or the Soul Society from Hueco Mundo.
The Menos Grande hollows open a large hole in the sky when they rescue Lord Aizen and his lieutenants from the Soul Society.
When Lord Aizen and his forces return to invade the World of the Living, they do so by opening a large breach in the sky.
In episode #254, Muramasa opens a breach into Hueco Mundo which allows an army of Menos Grande to enter. Luckily, Captain Kuchiki is able to use his spiritual pressure to seal the breach.

Wild ARMs: A crack appears in the sky above Adlehyde right before a beam of light shoots down and reduces the town to a flaming wreck. Then monsters are sent down to cut apart any survivors they can get hold of. Another crack appears much later when Zeikfried decides to drag the heroes into the Gate Generator in order to kill them.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is jump started by a massive explosion which, among other things, creates an enormous hole in the sky as well as dozens of much smaller ones. The big one is called the Breach; the smaller ones are called rifts. All of them are a huge problem because they aren't just holes in the sky, but also holes in the Veil, which separates the mortal world from the realm of spirits and demons.

World of Warcraft: Following the release of the Shadowlands expansion, the sky over the Icecrown zone - previously just a dark, cloudy blue-grey - now sports a gaping hole with edges like broken glass to depict the breaking of the veil between life and death. It's also a reddish-brown colour, going for an Orange/Blue Contrast rather than black and white.

The Order of the Stick has rifts, holes in reality which lead to a prison dimension built by the gods to imprison the Snarl. One particularly impressive example, which can be seen in this strip, opens above Azure City and grows much larger than any of the others, looming in the skies of the city like a colossal wound where the fabric of the universe is very literally and visibly unraveling.

The aftermath of the damaged Dimensionator firing in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart causes broken glass-like rifts to appear in the sky, revealing holes to other dimensions before disappearing again, complete with "shards" of reality flying out before abruptly flying back into place. As the game progresses, these become more frequent, indicating the impending collapse of all reality if the protagonists aren't able to fix it.

The Elder Empire: The Great Elders manage to rip open a hole in the sky, exposing the Way beyond. While the people of this world don't have a perfect knowledge of astronomy, this terrifies everyone because it goes against everything they know about how the universe works. The heroes have to scramble to fix this before the Great Elders tear the world in half. As it turns out, a crack is all that the Great Elders can do. This world was specifically designed to imprison them; even with all of them working together, they can barely hold it open this much. Their plan was to frighten everyone enough to give them an opportunity to escape, but if they are killed then the crack will immediately fix itself.

Futurama: At the end of the first movie, Bender's Big Score, Bender convinces all of his (many, many) time-travelling duplicates to stay behind in Planet Express's basement until the end of the movie "instead of coming out when they were logically supposed to". The sheer magnitude of the resultant time paradox causes a massive tear in the fabric of the universe, clearly visible from Earth. The second movie, The Beast With A Billion Backs, starts one month later, where it's revealed that the tear hasn't actually done anything since, and the denizens of the universe are treating it with varying levels of nonchalance.

Magic: The Gathering:
In the Time Spiral cycle, the central conflict revolves around giant time rifts that have appeared all over Dominaria and are sucking the mana out of the land and threatening the total destruction of the space-time continuum.
In the Ravnica cycle, a dimensional rift above the Utvara region is a main plot point. (It turns out to be related to Dominaria's time rifts, too.)
The trope appears on a variety of individual cards, such as AEther Rift and Wargate.
Kaya's homeworld of Tolvada apparently has cracks in the sky that drive people mad. Its why she made a deal with Nicol Bolas, which she comes to suspect caused that in the first place.

Fairy Tail: In the final arc, the protagonists think they've successfully sealed away Acnologia in a space time rift that he'll never get out of, albeit at the sacrifice of two of their members who have rammed him into it. Not long after Zeref is finally defeated and everyone starts to relax, Wendy notices the sky suddenly cracking before Acnologia suddenly breaks through, having eaten the magic in the rift to free himself. On the upside, said members are likewise revealed to be alive.

Dream of the Red Chamber: The book opens with an alternate version of the myth of Nüwa patching up the sky, with 36,501 stones gathered rather than five as in the original. Most of the stones were used to repair the sky, but the last one was cast away and eventually gained sentience as a spirit, thus kicking off the events of the novel.

Doctor Who:
In "The Sound of Drums", alien invaders arrive through a massive crack in the sky.
One Eleventh Doctor story arc involves "cracks in time" that manifest as visible cracks, though usually against a solid surface (like a wall). The cause is the future destruction of the Doctor's own TARDIS, which is gradually erasing all of time and space.
At the climax of "The Time of the Doctor", the final Eleventh Doctor episode, a crack in the sky (identical in shape to the previous ones above) opens between Trenzalore and the frozen-in-time Gallifrey to dispense the Doctor with a fresh new batch of Regenerations (and enough spill-off energy to blast the Dalek fleet from the sky).

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The premise of Joys of Seasons episode 34 is that an angry Wolnie sends Wolffy flying into the sky so many times that it creates a crack in the sky that gets bigger and eventually breaks, creating a hole that spills water and sends the goats into action when it threatens to flood the Green Green Grassland.

Unsong: This is the first sign that something has gone terribly wrong when the Apollo 8 capsule crashes into the crystal sphere surrounding the world, before the laws of physics more broadly start breaking down.

Oathbringer (third book of The Stormlight Archive): Odium begins tearing apart one of Dalinar's visions from outside, starting by opening a hole in the sky. This makes more sense than most examples, because it's not the real sky - the world Dalinar is in at the time is a sort of magic interactive video recording.

Both Gundam Build Divers and Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE feature ominous cracks in the sky as a crucial plot point, used to represent server damage to the game world of GBN. In Re RISE, this actually signals a full blown Alien Invasion plot. In both instances, the rips in the sky are fixed by the game's admins firing on them with in-game weapons. Apparently stability/repair patches can be deployed via high explosive missiles.

In Loom, the sky rips open at the end of the game. It's not really a disaster, but dramatic nevertheless at it marks the new boundary between the land, one part ruled by Chaos and one part by the Weavers.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: When Twilight Sparkle's device traps too much of the Humane Six's magic, it starts to spill out and create rifts between Earth and Equestria to open in the air and the sky, which take longer each time to close.

Super Smash Bros.:
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The save points in the Great Maze show a massive rip in the sky in the background, with Subspace behind it.
Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS has a passive version in the Magicant stage, where the sky opens up to show moments from the Mother series. Ultimate changes these visions from rips in the sky to being formed out of several squares.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: In World of Light, the sky cracks open when Dharkon enters from the Dark World.
