The Pretenders – angielska grupa rockowa założona w 1978 w Hereford przez Chrissie Hynde, Jamesa Honeymana–Scotta, Pete'a Farndona oraz Martina Chambersa.
Od początku miał charakter rockowy, później z lekko popowym brzmieniem. Po kilku niezłych singlach, w 1980 wydali longplay "Pretenders", dobrze przyjęty przez publiczność. Po roku fani otrzymali kolejny album – "Pretenders II". Wkrótce formację opuścili Honeyman–Scott i Farndon, a w 1984 roku na rynku pojawił się album "Learning to Crawl". W kolejnych latach artyści zaprezentowali kilka udanych płyt m.in. "Get Closed", "Last of Independents" czy "Viva el Amor". Najnowszym krążkiem grupy jest płyta "Pirate Radio" (2006).
