Frengers (sometimes referred to as Frengers: Not Quite Friends, But Not Quite Strangers) is the third album by Danish band Mew, originally released in 7 April 2003.

The title is a portmanteau of the words friend and stranger. A frenger is a person who is "not quite a friend but not quite a stranger" according to the album's accompanying booklet.

Six of the album's ten tracks were previously included on Mew's first two albums A Triumph for Man and Half the World Is Watching Me, both of which saw only limited release until they were subsequently rereleased internationally, but were rerecorded for Frengers. The other four are original recordings. The song "Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years" features vocals from Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam and "Symmetry" features vocals from 13-year-old Georgia Becky Jarrett. The Japanese version of Frengers also included the rerecordings of earlier songs, "I Should Have Been a Tsin-Tsi (For You)" and "Wherever".
