"Kiss That Frog" is a song by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel's sixth album, Us (1992). It was written by Gabriel and produced by him with Daniel Lanois. The song first charted in North America in February 1993, where it entered the RPM Canadian singles chart at No. 66, later going on to peak at No. 36 the following month. The song missed the US Billboard Hot 100 and instead reached number 18 on both the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Album Rock Tracks charts. In the United Kingdom, the song was released as a single in September 1993 by Real World and narrowly failed to enter the top 40, peaking at number 46.

The song was issued as a 7-inch single, CD single, and a limited edition CD maxi single, with all editions featuring the "Mindblender Mix", which was produced by both Gabriel and William Orbit. Both the CD and CD maxi single also included "Across the River", a song previously used as the b-side for Gabriel's 1982 "I Have the Touch" single.

The single art for "Kiss That Frog" was created by Jim Atkinson and Jim Cahill. Bili Bidjocka designed a separate piece of artwork for "Kiss That Frog" in the liner notes for Us; this piece of artwork depicts a frog in an aquarium and a blowup doll contained within a box.
