Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd is an instrumental album inspired by Pink Floyd songs. The album was composed by Jaz Coleman, produced by Youth and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

The album cover was painted by Roger Dean who is known for his organic paintings. He also designed albums for Asia, Uriah Heep, and Yes. Dean designed the classic Yes "bubble' logo, which first appeared on the album Close to the Edge.
