The Lambrettas were a British mod revival band active in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Formed near the south coast city of Brighton, the original lineup consisted of Jez Bird (vocals/guitar), Doug Sanders (guitar/vocals), Mark Ellis (bass), and Paul Wincer (drums). Their biggest hit was a cover of the 1950s Lieber and Stoller song "Poison Ivy", which reached number 7 in the UK charts. They scored a number 12 hit with "Da-a-a-nce."
