Apollo 18 is the title of They Might Be Giants' 4th album. It was released on March 24, 1992 on Elektra Records.

The album's title refers to the aborted planned 18th Apollo mission.

Apollo 18 spent 6 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart, peaking at #99. Three singles were released: "The Statue Got Me High", "I Palindrome I" and "The Guitar".

"The Statue Got Me High" spent 8 weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at #22. The other two singles did not chart.

The album is unique for the "Fingertips" tracks (17-27); not really songs per se, but a series of short vignettes meant to be heard with the then-new shuffle feature put on CD players.
