Lotus Child is a Canadian indie rock band consisting of Zachary Gray on vocals and guitar, Tom Dobrzanski on piano, synthesizer and vocals, Peter Carruthers on bass and Miles Bruce on drums.

The band was formed in 2003 by Gray and Dobrzanski, the two having met in 1997 as members of the British Columbia Boys Choir. Lotus Child's melodic, piano-heavy variety of art rock has been compared to bands such as Spoon, Bright Eyes, Muse, Starlight Mints, and Ben Folds.

Gossip Diet, their debut full-length album, was released in the fall of 2006. The album was recorded in the winter of 2005–06 with producer Howard Redekopp (The New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara).

Lotus Child can often be found supporting well-established Vancouver-based bands such as Mariana's Trench, Hey Ocean and The Painted Birds.
