Jamie Lidell (born September 18, 1973 in Huntingdon, Cambridge, England) is a musician and soul singer. He is signed to Warp Records. He has a group with Cristian Vogel called SuperCollider.

Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone, performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced beatboxing one-man band. Then over his augmented voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. This exercise makes for energetic live performance.

His song, "Multiply" was used on the hit television show, Grey's Anatomy, as well on its second soundtrack. Another song off his album Multiply, "A little bit more", was featured in a series of commercials for Target.

He often collaborates with Canadian musicians like Gonzales, Feist and Mocky.
