Thunderclap Newman was a British band that Pete Townshend of The Who and Kit Lambert (their producer and manager) formed circa December 1968 - January 1969 in a bid to showcase the talents of Speedy Keen, Andy Thunderclap Newman and Jimmy McCulloch.

Their single, "Something in the Air", a 1969 UK number one hit, remains in demand for television commercials, film soundtracks and compilations. The band released a critically acclaimed rock album, Hollywood Dream, and three other singles (which appeared on the album), "Accidents", "The Reason" and "Wild Country".
