Shellac (sometimes referred to as "Shellac of North America") is an American rock music group comprised of Steve Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass guitar and vocals) and Todd Trainer (drums and vocals). They have been classified as noise rock and math rock; they describe themselves as a "minimalist rock trio".

Shellac formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1992 as an informal collaboration between guitarist Steve Albini and drummer Todd Trainer. Former Naked Raygun bassist Camilo Gonzalez sat in on early rehearsals and even played on one song on Shellac's first single before permament bassist Bob Weston, formerly of Boston's Volcano Suns, joined.
