Valley Girl is a single release by American experimental rock artist Frank Zappa. The single was released in 1981 through Zappa Records.

The A-side also appear on the Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch (1982) album. The B-side song You Are What You Is also appear on the You Are What You Is (1981) album.
