Sleeper was a United Kingdom indie band in the 1990s which was fronted by Louise Wener and had several UK hits. They recorded three studio albums: Smart, The It Girl and Pleased to Meet You.

Their breakthrough song, "Inbetweener", featured a memorable video with Dale Winton, who was a popular icon among students at the time. The group is closely associated with Britpop, and Wener was arguably (along with Elastica's Justine Frischmann) it's biggest female star, even something of a sex symbol. By the time Pleased to Meet You was released in 1997, Britpop had faded, as had the band's audience. After their split Louise Wener went on to have a successful career as a novelist.
