808 State is an English band known for such recordings as "Pacific State" (1989).

Formed in Radcliffe, Bury in Greater Manchester and taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the "state of mind" shared by the members, they were formed by Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson (later to record as A Guy Called Gerald).
