Madness (« folie » en anglais) est un groupe de musique britannique de la vague Two-Tone, créé en 1976. Originaire de Camden Town à Londres, il a fait connaître le ska au grand public au tout début des années 1980, avec d'autres groupes comme The Specials, The Selecter, Bad Manners ou The Beat. Madness est à l'origine du nutty sound, sorte de marque de fabrique du groupe.

Madness are an English ska band from Camden Town, London, that formed in 1976. One of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s 2 Tone ska revival, they continue to perform with their most recognised line-up of seven members.

Madness achieved most of their success in the early to mid-1980s. Both Madness and UB40 spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade, holding the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts. However, Madness achieved this in a shorter time period (1980–1986).

Madness have had 15 singles reach the UK top ten, one UK number one single ("House of Fun") and two number ones in Ireland, "House of Fun" and "Wings of a Dove".
