Grand Slam is the fourth studio album by Australian rock band Spiderbait. The album marked a significant change in sound for the band, with many of the songs being heavily-produced pop sung by bassist Janet English. The remainder of the album is a mix of alternative rock (sung, as in previous albums, by drummer Kram) and electronica.

The song "Glockenpop" is featured in the 2009 video game LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation Portable.[4]
