The Au Pairs were a British post-punk band that formed in Birmingham in 1978 and continued until 1983. They produced two studio albums and three singles. Their songs were said to have "contempt for the cliches of contemporary sexual politics" and their music has been compared to that of the Gang of Four and the Young Marble Giants. The band was led by Lesley Woods, who was once described as "one of the most striking women in British rock".

(fr) Au Pairs var ett brittiskt tidigt postpunkband, bildat 1979 i Birmingham, England. Frontperson i bandet var den öppet lesbiska Lesley Woods, vilket gjort att Au Pairs ibland kallats ett av de tidigaste lesbiska banden trots att det bara var Woods som var lesbisk och två av de andra tre medlemmarna var män. I bandets texter problematiseras heterosexualitet och heteronormativitet. (sv) Au Pairs was een post-punkband die werd opgericht in Birmingham in 1979.
