The Fritz the Cat OST is the 1972 soundtrack album to the animated film of the same name. The soundtrack features a number of jazz, funk and rock and roll songs as well as the film's score as performed by Ed Bogas and Ray Shanklin.

The album was originally released on Fantasy Records in 1972. It was later re-released in 1996 on compact disc as part of a compilation that featured both the soundtracks to Fritz the Cat and another Ralph Bakshi feature, Heavy Traffic, on the same disc.

Various musical cues and instrumental songs from the film are not featured on the soundtrack and still remain unreleased to this day.
