The Fire Engines were a post-punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Fire Engines were an influence on many bands that followed, including Franz Ferdinand and The Rapture, with Meat Whiplash and The Candyskins both taking their names from Fire Engines songs. In August 2017 the band reformed to play a benefit for Leith Theatre along with Irvine Welsh and Ewen Bremner.
