Yak were an English alternative rock band, formed in 2014 and composed of singer-guitarist Oliver Henry Burslem, bassist Vincent Davies and drummer Elliot Rawson.

The band released their debut album Alas Salvation in May 2016. The band's original bassist Andy Jones left the band in early 2017, after previously bowing out of earlier live commitments. They released their second album Pursuit of Momentary Happiness in February 2019. They entered an indefinite hiatus following a final show at ULU, London on 15 November 2019.

Childhood friends Burslem and Jones (who have known each other since the age of about 5) were previously members of Wolverhampton band Yelps, who released their debut single "P.E.O.P.L.E" in 2007 via 1965 Records and follow up single "Ramshackle Of A Rave" the following year on Union Mills Records. An EP "This Ain't No Mardi Gras" was released in Japan in late 2008 before the band split. Burslem and Jones went on to form INTL with future Splashh members Toto Vivian and Tom Beal. In 2013, Burslem toured the US with Peace temporarily replacing guitarist Douglas Castle.
