Folklore is the ninth studio album by the English progressive rock band Big Big Train. It is set to be released on 27 May 2016. It was recorded at English Electric Studios and mixed and mastered at Aubitt Studios by Rob Aubrey Produced by Big Big Train. It is the first studio album to feature Rachel Hall and Beardfish's lead vocalist Rikard Sjöblom as official members.

The album is to be released in two formats: as a single CD release and as a double-LP vinyl release that features two additional tracks, "Mudlarks" and "Lost Rivers of London", both of which were previously released on the 2015 EP Wassail. Both versions of the album contain the title track from Wassail, meaning that the vinyl release features all three of the original songs on the EP.
