Distant Plastic Trees is the debut studio album by American indie pop band The Magnetic Fields, released in 1991.[5] Lead vocals on the album are performed by Susan Anway.[6]

The album is noteworthy for its stripped down sound and largely synthesized instrumentation. Stephin Merritt himself described the album as a "small record, intentionally small" and heavily inspired by Young Marble Giants.[7]

The song "Babies Falling" is a cover of a song by The Wild Stares.
