Eyeless in Gaza est un groupe new-wave britannique fondé en 1980. Son nom est emprunté à un roman d'Aldous Huxley, évoquant indirectement l'histoire de Samson. La formation initiale était composée d'Elizabeth S., qui partageait le chant avec Martyn Bates, et du multi-instrumentiste Peter Becker.

Bates a abandonné le groupe en 1987 pour une carrière solo et Eyeless in Gaza ne s'est reformé qu'en 1993. .
