The S.S.T.Band (エスエスティーバンド, Sega Sound Team Band and Super Sonic Team Band) was a group of musicans formed by members of the "Sega Sound Team" in the late 1980s. It acted as Sega of Japan's "in-house band", specialising in rock versions of music fround in Sega arcade games from the era. The S.S.T.Band followed in the footsteps of "Zuntata", a similar house band formed by staff from rivals Taito around the same period.

The group officially disbanded in 1993, though have met up on various occasions since. Successors include B-univ and (H.).

The S.S.T.Band has always consisted of either six or seven Japanese musicians from Sega. The company's policy at the time was not to credit its developers through fear of rivals poaching talent, so band members originally adopted pseudonyms, many again alluding to Sega's arcade games.
