God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners is the second solo album by British guitarist and composer Robert Fripp, released on E.G. Records in 1980.

The album largely consists of Frippertronics, with much of the work being performed by improvisation. On the Under Heavy Manners side of the album, the effect was modified in what Fripp described as "Discotronics", adding a solid drum beat and bass line to create a dancier sound. The design concept was by Fripp and Chris Stein, with Stein credited for the cover portrait.[2]
