Spandau Ballet er et engelsk band, som blev dannet i London i de sene 1970'ere. Deres musik er en blanding af funk, jazz, soul og synthpop.

Bandet havde stor succes i 1980'erne, hvilket 10 top-ti-singler og fire top-ti-albums i England var et klart udtryk for.

I 1983-84 hittede Spandau Ballet, som var et af den tids populæreste New Romantics bands, med sange som "True", "Gold" og "Only When You Leave".

Spandau Ballets medlemmer Tony Hadley, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp, Steve Norman og John Keeble opløste bandet i 1990 men blev samlet igen i oktober 2009.

Det seneste album Once More udkom d. 1. november 2009. Albummet indeholder 11 genindspilninger af deres gamle numre + 2 nye sange, heriblandt den ny single "Once More", som er den første fra Spandau Ballet i 20 år.

Spandau Ballet began a world tour in October 2009, starting with eight dates across Ireland and the UK, the first of which was in Dublin on 13 October 2009. The tickets for the UK and Ireland shows went on pre-sale on the official Spandau Ballet website on 25 March 2009. These then went on general release on 27 March 2009. For the general release tickets, the London O2 arena tickets sold out within 20 minutes and an extra two dates were added there because of demand. The band also announced an extra date in Birmingham and added Liverpool to the tour.
