Moloko were an electronic / pop group from Sheffield, England, consisting of Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon.

The band's name originates from the novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, in which it means either "milk" (the name of a milk drink Alex and his 'droogs' consume, and the Russian word for milk) or "method of narcotic ingestion". (Fellow electronic Sheffield band Heaven 17 had also taken their name from the novella when they formed in 1980.)
