Bolt Action Five were a dancepunk/industrial band from London, England, composed of Tobias J Hughes, Ian William Galloway, Dan the Carnivore and Mark Murphy. They formed in early 2006 from a variety of different members and appeared repeatedly in "Artrocker" and "PlayMusic" magazines, as well as in "NME", "i-D", "Disorder Magazine" and various online music journals.

The band seemed to have difficulty describing their sound, variously categorising themselves as indie/electro, industro-pop, dance punk, or electro-metal. and in interviews listed influences as Devo, Nine Inch Nails, Wire, Prince and Michael Jackson.

The band split on March 26, 2008 and are said to be working on independent projects.
