Frestonia is the sixth album by Scottish group Aztec Camera, released in November 1995 on the Reprise Records label. It is the last album to be released under the name of Aztec Camera: Roddy Frame's subsequent releases would be under his own name. The title of the album refers to the community of Frestonia in the Notting Hill district of London and is also an anagram of "In a Forest".

Frestonia was something of a low-key release both musically and commercially. It is the lowest-charting Aztec Camera album in the United Kingdom, only reaching #100 whereas all previous releases made the top 30.[2] Only one track, "Sun", was released as a single and it failed to chart.
