{{Infoboks band}}
'''The Impressions''' er en [[Amerikas forente stater|amerikansk]] musikkgruppe fra [[Chicago]] dannet i [[1958]]. Deres repertoar inkluderer [[doo-wop]], [[gospel]], [[Rhythm & Blues]] og [[Soulmusikk|soul]].

Gruppen ble startet under navnet ''The Roosters'' av  [[Sam Gooden]], Richard Brooks og Arthur Brooks, aller opprinnelig fra [[Chattanooga, Tennessee|Chattanooga]] i [[Tennessee]], men de hadde flyttet til [[Chicago]]. Etter hvert slo de seg sammen med [[Jerry Butler]] og [[Curtis Mayfield]] under navnet ''Jerry Butler & the Impressions''. I [[1962]] forlot både Butler og Brooks-brødrene gruppen, og Mayfield og Gooden fortsatte samarbeidet sammen med [[Fred Cash]] og ble under navnet ''The Impressions'' en suksess innenfor [[soulmusikk]]en. Mayfield forlot gruppen til fordel for en solokarriere i [[1970]], men flere erstatninger kom til underveis, blant disse [[Leroy Hutson]], Ralph Johnson, Reggie Torian, [[Sammy Fender]] og Nate Evans.

The Impressions ble i [[1991]] innvalgt til [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]]. Idag er gruppen mest kjent for sine låter inspirert av [[Borgerrettighetsbevegelsen#Borgerretts-bevegelsen|borgerrettskampen]] i [[USA]].
