Gryphon is the debut album by the progressive rock band Gryphon. It was originally released in 1973 by Transatlantic, catalogue number TRA 262.

The album was produced by Lawrence Aston and Adam Skeaping and engineered by Adam Skeaping and Nick Glennie-Smith. It was recorded at Riverside Recordings and Livingston Studios. The gryphon cover illustration is by Dan Pearce.

The emphasis on this album is still very much on the acoustic and 'early music' instruments.
