The Shadows of Knight were an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, that played a version of British blues influenced by their native city.

The Shadows of Knight saw regional success with a cover of Them's 1964 single "Gloria", which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1966. In 1972, Lenny Kaye coined the term "garage punk" on the track-by-track liner notes for the Nuggets compilation, describing the Shadows of Knight's follow-up single "Oh Yeah", which opens side two of the anthology, as "classic garage punk".
