Earthed to the Ground is a 1984 (see 1984 in music) debut solo studio album by the English space rock musician Dave Brock.

It is essentially a collection of home demos Brock made for work with his group Hawkwind. "Assassination" had previously been released by the band as "Some People Never Die" on the Church of Hawkwind album, and "Green Finned Demon" would be released with additional contributions from other band members on the EP The Earth Ritual Preview.
