American Juniors was a pop band that existed from 2003 to 2005. Its members were Lucy Hale, Taylor Thompson, Tori Thompson, Chauncey Matthews and Danielle White. The band emerged from the television singing competition show American Juniors. Though American Juniors was billed as an American Idol spinoff, the band, and the show, were more closely modeled after the British band S Club Juniors (later renamed to S Club 8), and the show S Club Search.

There were two albums released under the "American Juniors" name, although the first one, Kids in America, had been recorded by all ten finalists of the show, not just the five selected for the group. Thus, the band only released one real album, the self-titled American Juniors, which came out in October 2004, after a delay of a year from its original scheduled date.

The group's first single, though it was recorded by the ten finalists, was a cover of the S Club Juniors song "One Step Closer".
