S'Express (pronounced ess-express; sometimes spelled S'Xpress or S-Express; otherwise known as Victim Of the Ghetto) were a British dance music act from the late 1980s who had one of the earliest commerical successes in the acid house genre. "Theme from S'Express" was also one of the earliest recordings to capitalize on sampling culture and it topped the UK singles chart as well as the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the United States (also scraping into the Hot 100 at #91).

The main player in the act was DJ/producer and remixer Mark Moore. 1989 saw the release of their debut album Original Soundtrack, which featured a group line-up of Mark M (Moore, noise engineer), Michellé (microdot clarinet and vox), Mark D (trumpet, noise, boogie factor), Jocasta (hi-hat hairspray, background vox) and Pascal (Pascal Gabriel, noise engineer). The album compiled S-Express's "Theme" and its follow-up club hits "Superfly Guy" and "Music Lover," along with an album's worth of new compositions.
