Surgeon is the pseudonym of Anthony Child, an English electronic musician and DJ. He began DJing regularly at Birmingham's House of God parties in 1991 and released his eponymous debut EP on Downwards Records in 1994. He currently releases music on his own labels Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension, and DJs using Ableton Live.

His musical style is characterised by his ability to incorporate the more leftfield aspects of his musical background into his club-based material. His production, remix, and DJ repertoire are inspired by industrial music bands such as Faust, Coil, and Whitehouse, while also drawing influences from dance music ranging from early Chicago house to dubstep.

Surgeon is also known for several significant artist collaborations in his career, including tonal experiments with Mick Harris, British Murder Boys with Regis, and most recenly with Ben Sims as Frequency 7.
