Death In June is the creative music works by English folk musician Douglas Pearce, better known as Douglas P.

Pearce formed Death In June in 1981, along with Patrick Leagas and Tony Wakeford. Pearce and Wakeford had been members of the influential political punk band, Crisis , which formed in 1977. Crisis had gained a substantial following in the U.K. punk scene, which was getting its legs at that time. Crisis performed at rallies for Rock Against Racism (RAR), and the Anti-Nazi League (ANL), organizations that neoist and Crisis/Death in June critic Stewart Home wrote were fronts for the Socialist Workers Party. Home further stated that the SWP organized a tour of Norway for Crisis and that Wakeford was a "card-carrying member of the SWP".
