Time Vaults is an album by Van der Graaf Generator. It was originally released in 1982 on cassette only, almost four years after the break-up of Van der Graaf Generator in 1978. Later it was released as a vinyl LP, and in 1992 it was released on CD. It contains out-takes and rehearsal recordings from the period 1972-1975, when the band was on hiatus. The recordings "are not studio-quality recordings".
Among others, it contains the first rehearsals by the reformed Van der Graaf Generator from 1975, and some pieces originally intended for the next album in 1972. One song has Peter Hammill play bass guitar, another has David Jackson play the piano.
