The League of Gentlemen is the sole studio album by British guitarist and composer Robert Fripp and his short-lived band The League of Gentlemen, released in February 1981 on the Editions E.G. label.
The music is instrumental, although two tracks contain spoken-word overlays and three tracks, labelled as "Indiscretions", are composed entirely of spoken-word collages. Three further tracks, "Pareto Optimum" I & II and "Ochre", are solo organ pieces produced using the Frippertronics system.
