Gryphon foi uma banda britânica de rock progressivo nos anos 1970, notável por seu som e instrumentação incomuns. O multi-intrumentista Richard Harvey e Brian Gulland, seu colega de graduação na Royal Academy of Music e músico de intrumentos de sopro de madeira, fundaram o grupo como um conjunto acústico, que misturava o folclore inglês tradicional com música medieval de influências renascentistas e árcades. Logo depois juntaram-se à dupla o guitarrista Graeme Taylor e o baterista e percurssionista David Oberlé.
