"Where's the Playground Susie" is a song written by Jimmy Webb and recorded by American country music singer Glen Campbell.

The song peaked at number 26 on the Hot 100, number 28 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, and number 8 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart.[1]
A version by Andy Williams appeared on his album Happy Heart, which came out in 1969 a few weeks after Glen Campbell's single. Lynn Anderson covered the song (as "Where's the Playground, Bobby") on her 1969 album, At Home with Lynn. Everything but the Girl covered the song on the B-side of the 1986 single of "Don't Leave Me Behind". Bobbie Gentry also recorded the song (as "Where's the Playground, Johnny") on her 1969 album Touch 'Em with Love.
