Globe of Frogs is an album released by Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians on A&M Records in 1988. Recorded in London, it was produced by the Egyptians (Robyn Hitchcock, Andy Metcalfe, and Morris Windsor) along with Pat Collier. Guest artists included Chris Cox, Peter Buck (from R.E.M.), and Glenn Tilbrook.

The album produced one of Hitchcock's best known (if least typical) songs, the minor college radio hit "Balloon Man."
