Raspberry Glam are an English glam rock tribute band that formed in Bolton, England in 2020. The band consists of Fabian Kenny (lead vocals), Pete Wood (bass guitar, backing vocals), Paul Birchall (guitar), Darren Birmingham (guitar, backing vocals) and Andrew Carruthers (drums, backing vocals).

Raspberry Glam pay tribute to the 1970s glam rock era performing covers of popular rock songs from T-Rex, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Mud, Sweet, Slade, Alvin Stardust, ABBA, Bryan Ferry, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, The Glitter Band and Suzi Quattro.

Raspberry Glam started out playing glam rock covers in local pubs in the Bolton area of England. After trialling using wigs and costumes, the band soon realised that audiences responded positively to their use of costumes and face makeup. The band developed their image with each band member representing a character from the glam rock era. This decision proved successful for the band's image and notoriety, enabling them to book shows in venues across England. They are now established as a well known glam rock tribute show.

In 2023, the band headlined the OGRI motorcycle club Summer Rally.
