Ego Scriptor is a 2004 album by Frog Eyes. It contains acoustic versions of songs from other Frog Eyes albums.

The phrase "Ego Scriptor" means " I, the writer" in Latin, and may refer to the French poet Paul Valery's essay of the same name in which he describes the "self‑reflecting process...both the 'real' work of the mind and the 'chore' of writing to command."^[1] In it, Valery also talks about the isolation of an author upon publishing their work.
