"Gentle Giant" is the debut studio album by the British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1970. Initially, the album was not released in the United States, but the cover art was later used for the band's 1972 album Three Friends.
The album has had a lasting impact, with its music influencing various genres. Notably, the American hip-hop duo Madvillain sampled the track "Funny Ways" from Gentle Giant on their song "Strange Ways" from the 2004 album Madvillainy.
