Tunng are an experimental folk band from the United Kingdom. They are often associated with the folktronica genre due to the electronic influences evident in some of their work. They supported Doves on dates at the end of their 2005 tour.

Tunng are often noted for their use of strange instruments, including sea shells. They have covered Bloc Party's song "The Pioneers", both featured in The O.C. - Season 3 - Episode 24 - The Man of the Year.

Becky Jacobs from Tunng is the younger sister of electronic musician Max Tundra.

Tunng covered Tim Buckley's "No Man Can Find The War" for the 2005 tribute album Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley.

In 2007 they were included on The Imagined Village album, with a re-told version of Death and the Maiden.
