"In a Glass House" is an album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1973. One of Gentle Giant's most popular albums, it was available in North America only as a rare import until 2005 when a digitally remastered CD was released. This was because their US label at the time rejected the album as uncommercial. It is the first Gentle Giant album after the departure of Phil Shulman.

The album is allegedly based around the concept that "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" [ [http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/albums/in.a.glass.house.html In A Glass House (1973) - Gentle Giant Web Site ] ] .
