Engineers are a British rock band, comprised of Simon Phipps (vocals/guitars), Mark Peters (vocals/guitars), Dan McBean (guitars/keyboard) and Sweeney (drums).

Engineers is a Dream Pop band formed in London in March 2003. The band's sound is often describe as a mixture of psychedelia, shoegazing and post-rock, though they themselves claim their influences range from The Cocteau Twins to Curtis Mayfield. With the often mellow, soundscape-like feel of a number of their songs in mind, Sweeney has remarked that "We've always said if more people started taking acid we'd clean up".

They are currently signed to the record label Echo Records, and released their eponymous debut album in 2005. They are reportedly in the process of mixing a follow-up record for release in the first half of 2007.
