The Associates (or simply Associates) were a Scottish post-punk and pop band, formed in Dundee in 1979 by singer Billy Mackenzie and guitarist Alan Rankine. The group first gained recognition after releasing an unauthorized cover of David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" as their debut single in 1979, which landed them a contract with Fiction Records. They followed with their debut album The Affectionate Punch in 1980 and the singles collection Fourth Drawer Down in 1981, both to critical praise.

Bandet härstammade från gruppen The Ascorbic Ones som bildades 1976, och bildades 1979 i Dundee av sångaren Billy Mackenzie (1957–1997) och gitarristen Alan Rankine (1958–2023).
