The Meligrove Band are a Canadian indie rock band, consisting of Jason Nunes on vocals, guitar and piano, Darcy Rego on vocals and drums, and Michael Small on bass guitar.

The band was formed in 1997 by Nunes, Small and Rego, when the three attended Father Michael Goetz Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario. Original drummer Rick Gomes departed in summer 2001, and the band stayed a trio (with guitarist Rego moving to drums) until the release of their second independent album, Let it Grow in October 2002.

Andrew Scott joined in October 2002, months before his former band, Femme Fatale, ceased touring. (Scott's bandmates in Femme Fatale included Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler, who went on to become Death from Above 1979. Although the Meligrove Band's sound has been compared to Sloan by some Canadian critics, Scott is not the same person as Sloan's Andrew Scott. His last show with the band was in September 2007 in London.

The band released its first independent album, Stars & Guitars, in 2000. In 2005, they became the first Canadian band signed to V2 Records, who released Planets Conspire in the United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, Scandinavia and Finland in 2006.
