Fontanelle is an album by punk rock band Babes in Toyland, released on August 11, 1992. It was the band's first release on a major label (Reprise Records, a division of Warner Music), and their first recording to feature Maureen Herman on bass.

The album was co-produced by singer/guitarist Kat Bjelland and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth. It was engineered by Brian Paulson and mixed by Dave Ogilvie. The cover photo--an image of a naked doll held up in front of a mirror--was taken for the album by photographer Cindy Sherman.

The band has explained the album's name as referring to the soft spot on the top of a baby's skull, as well as to a little fountain used by fairies. It's also the name of a magician consulted by Gilles de Rais, the real-life murderer who inspired the fairy tale "Bluebeard." [1]

The process of recording the album is described in the book Babes in Toyland: The Making and Selling of a Rock and Roll Band, by Neal Karlen.
