Flight of the Cosmic Hippo is the second album by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, released in 1991. It reached number 1 on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. The album title came from an audience member who suggested "Flight of the Codeine Hippo" as a name for the title track. The band changed "codeine" to "cosmic" to avoid the drug association.
In his Allmusic review, music critic Brian Mansfield wrote of the album "The Flecktones continue to make it look easy."
All songs by Béla Fleck unless otherwise noted.
