Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) foi uma banda de rock britânica dos anos 70 e 80.
Apesar de singles de sucesso no início, no Reino Unido, a banda foi inicialmente mais bem-sucedido nos Estados Unidos, anunciado como "Os caras ingleses com os violinos grandes". Eles logo ganharam status de cult depois apesar das críticas mornas de volta em seu país natal no Reino Unido. Em meados da década de 1970, eles haviam se tornado uma das maiores bandas de venda no mundo.
