Sophisticated Boom Boom are a Scottish girl group, initially forming in 1981 and disbanding in 1983. The five-piece all-girl act were formed from a group of pals and became a trailblazing mainstay in the early 1980s Glasgow music scene.

Their "tough girl pop sound" was reminiscent of the Undertones, the Bluebells and the Mo-dettes. They took their name from a song by the Shangri-Las titled "Sophisticated Boom Boom", released on the album Shangri-Las-65!
