Saxon est un groupe britannique de heavy metal originaire de Barnsley, ville moyenne du comté métropolitain du Yorkshire du Sud, entre Sheffield au sud et Leeds au nord.

Débutant au milieu des années 1970, à la même époque que des groupes comme Iron Maiden, Motörhead ou Def Leppard, Saxon est rattaché à la New wave of British heavy metal et connaît le succès, avant de rencontrer une période moins populaire dans les années 1990, puis de retrouver une seconde jeunesse à partir des années 2000.
