The Pousette-Dart Band ([poo-sette]; PDB) was an American soft rock group active in the 1970s and early 1980s. Conceived in 1973 as a string band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, PDB comprised Jon Pousette-Dart, John Troy and John Curtis. With a shift to a more commercially oriented sound and a steady succession of additional personnel, the group went on to record a series of four albums for their label Capitol Records, two of which (Amnesia and Pousette-Dart Band 3) made the Billboard album chart. Their single "For Love" reached #83 on the Billboard singles chart.[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pousette-dart-band-p115454/charts-awards Pousette-Dart Band charts], Allmusicguide.

Although the band formally broke up in 1981, members reunited in 1991 for a series of concerts, and a "Best Of" album was released in 1994. Since then, collaborations among various former personnel have continued, with original members Pousette-Dart and Troy also launching solo careers.

The song "Fall on Me" from the band's second album Amnesia was featured in the 11th episode of the second season of Lost.{{cite news|title=Pousette-Dart Band |date=2013-08-24 |publisher=NY Times Co. |url=http://calendar.boston.com/northampton_ma/events/show/324874303-pousette-dart-band |work=Boston.com |access-date=2013-10-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131123071138/http://calendar.boston.com/northampton_ma/events/show/324874303-pousette-dart-band |archive-date=November 23, 2013 }}
