Shleep is the seventh album byCanterbury scene andprogressive rock veteran and musicianRobert Wyatt, released in 1997.

The album brought together a diverse range of musicians from a range of genres. After Wyatt's largely one-man recordings of the 1980s, Shleep marked a return to featuring other artistes as on his 1970s albums. The balance of his discography would follow suit.The Wire namedShleep its record of the year in its annual critics' poll.^[5]
