Thank You Scientist is an American progressive rock band from Montclair, New Jersey. Their debut studio album Maps of Non-Existent Places was named the "Revolver Album of the Week"" in October 2014. Their second album Stranger Heads Prevail was released in July 2016. Their third album Terraformer was released in June 2019.

Thank You Scientist was formed at the New Jersey Montclair State University's music program, when guitar player Tom Monda met saxophonist Ellis Jasenovic and trumpet player Andrew Digrius. Their musical taste for Frank Zappa, Harry Nilsson, the Beatles and Mahavishnu Orchestra would later become an influence and a seed for Thank You Scientist.

In 2009 vocalist Salvatore Marrano (former vocalist of New Jersey rock band "Hello Eden"), bass player Greg Colacino, drummer Odin Alvarez and violin player Russ Lynch joined the band, which became the original lineup for Thank You Scientist. The band self-released their The Perils of Time Travel EP in 2011, followed shortly after by their first full-length album Maps of Non-Existent Places in 2012. This album caught the attention of Claudio Sanchez, vocalist and guitarist for the progressive metal/rock group Coheed and Cambria and founder of Evil Ink Records, who brought band to the label as its first signed act. A music video for "My Famed Disappearing Act" was released in August 2014. The digital re-release of the album was on September 16, 2014.
