Disco Gardens is the second album by American R&B group Shalamar, released in 1978 on the SOLAR label. It features the line-up of Gerald Brown, Jeffrey Daniel and Jody Watley, and was the only Shalamar album on which Brown appeared.

Disco Gardens was less successful than Shalamar's debut Uptown Festival, peaking at #52 on the R&B chart and #171 on the Billboard chart, although it is considered a superior recording to its predecessor, and contains early indications of what was to become the distinctive "SOLAR sound", most notably on the single release "Take That to the Bank".
