Ace was a British rock music band, who enjoyed moderate success in the 1970s. They are notable for their part in the early career of Paul Carrack, who later became famous as a solo artist, and as a member of several other groups (The Sutherland Brothers, Quiver, Roxy Music, Squeeze, Nick Low, Mike & the Mechanics, to name a few). The band was formed in December 1972 in Sheffield as Ace Flash & the Dynamos, but this name was quickly abbreviated to just Ace.

Ace was one of the few pub rock groups to enjoy success on the pop charts, largely due to the warm, soulful vocals of Paul Carrack. While Carrack's voice certainly had crossover appeal, as he would later prove with his own records. The band was also less devoted to the three-chord boogie and country-rock that marked most pub rock bands, favoring soulful R&B. And while they did have hits, their time in the spotlight was brief, and they fell apart shortly after Carrack left for a solo career.
