"Hole in My Shoe" is a song by English rock band Traffic, released as a single in 1967, which reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, number 22 in the German charts, Number 2 in New Zealand and number 4 in Canada. Composed by guitarist Dave Mason, it was disliked by the other three members of the group who felt that it did not represent the band's musical or lyrical style.

The sing features a spoken-word midsection by Chris Blackwell's stepdaughter, Francine Heimann, in which she tells a little story about a giant albatross.
