"Glass Walls of Limbo" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their first album Slow, Deep and Hard, released in 1991. The track comprises of various sounds mixed together, which give the impression of a slow march to hell while dragging heavy chains repeating constantly over choir-like vocals, sometimes interrupted by raspy shrieks. The vocal parts form a polyphony. The song can be considered the most unusual track of the album. The track title suggests that on the other side of the walls made of glass is Limbo, which in Catholic theology was a part of Hell hypothesized to harbor those who died under Original Sin.

Of the six actual tracks on the album, "Glass Walls of Limbo" is the only one that is not split into cantos. Its title is an example of the band's humour, given the nature of the music.
