Straylight Run was an American indie rock band from Baldwin, New York. The band formed in 2003 after founders John Nolan and Shaun Cooper left Taking Back Sunday. They released two albums, Straylight Run and The Needles the Space, as well as three EPs, Prepare to Be Wrong, Un Mas Dos, and About Time.

In 2010, the band announced an indefinite hiatus because of financial reasons. Nolan and Cooper rejoined Taking Back Sunday shortly after.
