Walk the Moon (stylized as WALK THE MOON) is an American pop rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lead singer Nicholas Petricca started the band in 2008, while a student at Kenyon College, deriving the band's name from the song "Walking on the Moon" by The Police. The band is notable for its charting hit singles "Anna Sun", "Shut Up and Dance", and "One Foot".

Walk the Moon have cited Talking Heads, David Bowie, The Police, Tears for Fears, and Phil Collins as influences. The band's use of 1980s musical mainstays, such as keyboard and synthesizer, is also notable.
