The Barracudas are an English based Anglo-Canadian band formed in the late 1970's.

The band's original lineup consisted of: Jeremy Gluck (vocals), Robin Wills (guitar & vocals), David Buckley (bass & vocals) and Nick Turner (drums).

They are notable for their summer 1980 hit "Summer Fun", which started with an excerpt from a spoof 1960's advertisement for the Plymouth Barracuda, in which one of the announcers has difficulty pronouncing the word barracuda. The single reached number 37 in the UK singles chart
