Engineers are a British rock band, comprised of Simon Phipps (vocals/guitars), Mark Peters (vocals/guitars), Dan MacBean (guitars/keyboard) and Sweeney (drums).

Engineers is a Dream Pop band formed in London in March 2003. The band's sound is often describe as a mixture of psychedelia, shoegazing and post-rock, though they themselves claim their influences range from The Cocteau Twins to Curtis Mayfield. With the often mellow, soundscape-like feel of a number of their songs in mind, Sweeney has remarked that "We've always said if more people started taking acid we'd clean up".

They were signed to the record label Echo Records, and released their eponymous debut album in 2005. Whilst in the process of mixing the follow up, they split with Echo and their future is uncertain.
