Baby Beluga is a children's music album by Canadian children's entertainer Raffi, released in 1980. The lead song is about a young beluga whale that swim freely. The album begins with the sounds of beluga whales communicating and includes compositions that create images of the ocean and whales at play. An illustrated sing-along book was also published and sold separately as a companion to the first track.
