"Plague Songs" is an album of songs, by various artists, about the ten Plagues of Egypt described in the book of Exodus.

The songs were originally commissioned by the British arts organisation Artangel for its project The Margate Exodus, which centres around a one-day event that took place in Margate on 30 September 2006.
