Gravity is a 1980 solo album by English guitarist and composer Fred Frith. It was Frith's second solo album, and his first since Henry Cow disbanded in 1978. It was originally released in the United States on the Residents' Ralph Records, as the first of three solo albums Frith would record for the label. Gravity has been described as an avant-garde "dance" record that draws on rhythm and dance from folk music across the world.

Gravity was recorded in Sweden, the United States and Switzerland, and featured Frith backed by Swedish Rock in Opposition group Samla Mammas Manna on the first side of the LP and by American progressive rock group the Muffins on the second side. Additional musicians included Marc Hollander of Aksak Maboul and Frith's former Henry Cow bandmate Chris Cutler.
