Split is a studio album recorded by English blues rock group Groundhogs in November 1970 and released in March 1971.

It was originally released by Liberty Records with catalogue number LBG 83401. It was reissued on CD reissue in 2003 by Liberty / EMI Records, with catalogue number 07243-584819-2-1. In September 2020, it was released on limited-edition red vinyl (as well as CD) from Fire Records,^[2] including a second disc containing a number of outtakes and new sleeve notes by Dave Henderson of Mojo magazine.

According to Tony McPhee's sleeve notes for the 2003 CD reissue, the lyrics for Split were inspired by a panic attack he experienced in May 1970, and the studio version of "Cherry Red" was recorded live in a single take.
