Higher Than High is the seventh album released by British pop group Brotherhood of Man. The album was released in May 1979 on Pye Records. The album featured four singles, "Middle of the Night", "Goodbye Goodbye", "Papa Louis" and "Taxi" but failed to chart. At the time, the group had a regular spot on TV's "The Rolf Harris Show" at the time, where they sang several songs from the album (namely "Papa Louis", "Taxi", "Sleeping Beauty" and "Olé Olé").

According to member Sandra Stevens, the group had undertaken many photo shoots for the album cover, but ultimately, a painting of the group (in a hot air balloon) was used.
