Sneaker was a West Coast American rock music band, active from 1973 to 1982. The band is best known for its Billboard Top 40 Hit "More Than Just the Two of Us" from its first album, Sneaker (1981).

Sneaker was composed of Tim Torrance on guitars, Mitch Crane on vocals and guitars, Michael Carey Schneider on vocals and keyboards, Mike Hughes on drums, Michael Cottage on bass, and Jim King on keyboards, synthesizers, and vibes.
