The Seahorses are an British rock band, best known as the post-Stone Roses project of guitarist John Squire.

Formed in 1996, The Seahorses leaned more towards guitar-driven music than the dancehall rock of Stone Roses. For the band, Squire chose three artists unknown by the music community. First to join was the bassist Stuart Fletcher. Next was the lead vocalist Chris Helme, whom Squire had spotted busking. The final addition was drummer Andy Watts, who also provided backing vocals.
