The Velvet Underground foi uma banda de rock de vanguarda norte-americana, formada em 1964, no estado de Nova Iorque. A banda era inicialmente composta por Lou Reed (voz e guitarra), Sterling Morrison (guitarra), John Cale (baixo) e Angus MacAlise (bateria). Subsequentemente houve, em função da desistência de MacAlise e do afastamento de Cale, uma substituição destes, respectivamente, por Maureen Tucker e Doug Yule. A cantora alemã Nico também já teve passadas na banda, auxiliando-os em um de seus principais álbuns.
