The Big Bubble is an album released by American art rock group The Residents in 1985. The album is presented as the debut of fictional garage rock band "the Big Bubble", composed of four "Cross" band members – "Cross" being the resulting mixture between the Mole Trilogy's two contrasting factions, the Moles and the Chubs.

The album was subtitled Part Four of the Mole Trilogy – it was decided to extend the trilogy into a hexalogy, in which odd-numbered parts would detail the plot while even-numbered parts would elaborate on the cultural aspect of the two warring factions in the story. However, The Big Bubble was the last finished work related to the project before it was cancelled due to sheer disinterest and focus on other projects.
