"Aqualung" is a song by the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, and the title track from their Aqualung (1971) album. The song was written by the band's frontman, Ian Anderson, and his then-wife Jennie Franks.
The songs on the album encompass a variety of musical genres, with elements of folk, blues, psychedelia, and hard rock.
