Grapefruit was a British psychedelic rock band founded in 1967 in London. Named after an art book by Yoko Ono, the band gained early support from The Beatles, who signed them to Apple Publishing for songwriting. John Perry, one of the supporting vocalists on "Hey Jude," and Lennon and Paul McCartney produced their first single, "Lullaby." Despite signing with RCA and Equinox Productions later on, Grapefruit had a string of minor hit singles and albums before disbanding in 1969. They briefly reformed in 1971.

The band consisted of George Alexander on bass guitar and vocals (born Alexander Young), John Perry on lead guitar, Geoff Swettenham on drums, and Pete Swettenham on guitar. After the disbandment, George Alexander remained active due to his connections with members of The Easybeats and AC/DC. John Perry went on to work with Cliff Richard while Geoff Swettenham drummed for Matthew Fisher and Ruby (Procol Harum spin-off). Pete Swettenham continued writing songs and collaborated with Chris Andrews before working with Deaf School, Ralph McTell, and Mott the Hoople.
