Miss Black America (MBA) were a punk rock[1] band formed in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England in 1999 and active until 2006.[2]

Following early patronage from BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, the band received press attention as part of NME magazine's short-lived 'No Name' scene. They released two albums: God Bless Miss Black America (2002) and Terminal (2005), and recorded four Peel Sessions before splitting in 2006.

The band's line-up changed frequently, with lead singer/guitarist Seymour Glass the only constant member.
