Alabama 3 are an English electronic band, founded in Brixton, London in 1995. Their track "Woke Up This Morning" was used for the opening credits of the TV series The Sopranos. In the United States, the band is known as A3, to avoid legal conflict with the country music band Alabama.

Every member of the group has an alias, the band's founding members adopting the personas Larry Love (Rob Spragg) and The Very Reverend Dr. D. Wayne Love (Jake Black).

The band formed when Jake Black (born in Basildon, Essex; 27 April 1960 – 21 May 2019) met Rob Spragg at a rave in Peckham and they decided that a fusion of country music with acid house was a musical possibility. Other members of the band were added later. Nick Reynolds is the son of one of the Great Train Robbers. Rob Spragg was at university with Piers Marsh, the harmonica player and synthesiser programmer for the band, while Orlando Harrison, the group's keyboardist, used to live with Jake Black. Prior to the formation of Alabama 3 and following the demise of The Jangletties, Black generated little or no recorded output for several years.
