The Five Sharps were an American short-lived vocal group from Queens, New York. They are best known today for their recording of "Stormy Weather". "Stormy Weather" is today considered one of the most collectible doo-wop singles ever released. According to the Acoustic Music organization, this version of the song "is one of the rarest of all R&B records. Only three 78rpm and no 45rpm copies are known to exist".

After the group broke up, several of the members went on to join other groups, such as The Videos.
