The Poodles were a glam metal/heavy metal band from Sweden formed by the singer Jakob Samuel (a.k.a. Jake Samuels), bass guitarist Pontus Egberg, guitarist Pontus Norgren and drummer Christian Lundqvist.

The band's songs include "Metal Will Stand Tall" and "Night of Passion", the latter of which was performed in 2006 in Melodifestivalen, the annual music competition to decide the Swedish entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. The Poodles performed in Melodifestivalen again in 2008, this time with the musician E-Type, and played at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2006 and 2008.
