Tunng are an experimental folk band from the United Kingdom. They are often associated with the folktronica genre due to the electronic influences evident in some of their work. They supported Doves on dates at the end of their 2005 tour.

Tunng are often noted for their use of strange instruments, including sea shells. They have covered Bloc Party's song "The Pioneers". Both the original and cover were featured in The O.C. - Season 3 - Episode 24 - The Man of the Year.

Becky Jacobs from Tunng is the younger sister of electronic musician Max Tundra.

Tunng covered Tim Buckley's "No Man Can Find The War" for the 2005 tribute album "".

In 2007 they were included on "The Imagined Village" album, with a re-told version of "Death and the Maiden".

Their song "Bullets" was played during the end credits of the Weeds season 4 episode "Till We Meet Again" in September 2008.

"Jenny Again" is being used as the soundtrack for the new TV ad from the NSPCC to launch the NSPCC Child's Voice Appeal.
