Ang Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark (OMD) ay isang English electronic band na nabuo sa Wirral, Merseyside noong 1978. Spawned ng naunang banda na The Id, ang sangkap ay binubuo ng mga co-founders na si Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) at Paul Humphreys (mga keyboard, vocals), kasama si Martin Cooper (iba't ibang mga instrumento) at Stuart Kershaw (drums); Si McCluskey ang nag-iisang miyembro. Inilabas ng OMD ang kanilang debut single, "Electricity", noong 1979, at nakakuha ng katanyagan sa buong Europa kasama ang 1980 na anti-war song na "Enola Gay". Nakamit ng banda ang mas malawak na pagkilala sa pamamagitan ng kanilang album na Architecture & Morality (1981) at ang tatlo nitong mga solo, na lahat ay mga pang-internasyonal na mga hit.
