"Little Plastic Castle" is the title track of Ani DiFranco's eighth studio album, released in 1998, and the credits keep it all in her hands: she wrote the words and the music and produced it herself.

The album it named became the high-water mark of her career on the Billboard charts, climbing to number 22 on the Billboard 200, and another of its songs, "Glass House", brought her a Grammy nomination in the female rock vocal category.
