Misplaced Childhood is the third studio album of the progressive rock band Marillion. It was released in 1985 and has been their most commercially successful album, reaching number one in the UK album charts in June 1985.

The album features the band's most successful single, "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 in the UK and was a worldwide success. This name was devised by Fish to slightly obscure the name of a former girlfriend named "Kay Lee" (with "Lee" being the middle name), who the song was mostly about. Quite a few girls born in that time were given this name.

Misplaced Childhood was the band's first full concept album, consisting of two contiguous pieces of music on the two sides of the vinyl. In live concerts previewing the album Fish had originally claimed (seriously or as a teaser) that there would only be two tracks, Side One and Side Two, but this idea was evidently dropped. During the Misplaced Childhood tour Fish did announce after playing various tracks culled from the first two albums "Now there is time for one more track The name of the track is Misplaced childhood" and the band then performed the entire album in sequence.

The story is essentially about lost love, sudden success, acceptance, lost childhood, with a surprisingly upbeat ending. As Fish explains, he perceived the concept during a 10-hour acid trip (see the external link below). Several of the songs and titles contain notable autobiographical references; for example, track 2 ("Kayleigh") references past girlfriends, while track 5 ("I was born with the heart of Lothian") is a reference to a traditional region of Scotland - Fish himself being Scottish.
