The Elgins were an American singing group for the Motown label, active from the late 1950s to 1967. Founding members Robert Fleming, Norbert McClean, and Johnny Dawson recorded for Motown as The Sensations, The Five Emeralds, and The Downbeats before adding Saundra Edwards (Mallett) and adotping the name "The Elgins" in 1962.

With Edwards on lead, the group recorded several singles for Motown from 1965 to 1967, including the minor hits "Darling Baby" (1965) and "Heaven Must Have Sent You" (1966), both written and produced by Motown's main production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The group disbanded in 1967, although its members periodically recorded covers of its hits for Ian Levine's Motorcity Records label in England.
