The Flying Padovanis are an instrumental band, originally formed in the 1980s by the original guitarist for The Police, Henri Padovani.

After a period of hiatus, they reformed in 2007 with worldwide touring commitments, and a compilation album entitled Three For Trouble (2007), and a DVD consisting of vintage concert footage and current interviews.
