Cream was een Britse rock-supergroep gevormd in Londen in 1966. De groep bestaat uit bassist Jack Bruce, gitarist Eric Clapton en drummer Ginger Baker. Bruce was de belangrijkste songwriter en vocalist, hoewel Clapton en Baker meebrachten aan nummers. Opgericht door leden van eerder succesvolle bands, worden ze algemeen beschouwd als de eerste zogenoemde supergroup in de rockgeschiedenis. Cream werd hoog gewaardeerd om de muzikale bekwaamheid van elk van zijn leden.

Tijdens hun korte driejarige carrière bracht de band vier albums uit: Fresh Cream (1966), Disraeli Gears (1967), Wheels of Fire (1968) en Goodbye (1969). Begonnen met Disraeli Gears werd de band in de studio vergezeld door producent en multi-instrumentalist Felix Pappalardi. Hun muziek omvatte rockstijlen zoals bluesrock, psychedelica en hardrock. Gedurende hun carrière verkochten ze wereldwijd meer dan 15 miljoen records. Het derde album van de groep, Wheels of Fire (1968), is het eerste dubbelalbum met platina-verkopen. Ze hadden internationale hits met singles als "Sunshine of Your Love" (1967) en "White Room" (1968).

Spanningen tussen Bruce en Baker leidden in mei 1968 tot een besluit te stoppen, hoewel de band nog werd overgehaald om een laatste album op te nemen, Goodbye, en op te treden, wat culmineerde in twee laatste afscheidsconcerte op de Royal Albert Hall op 25 en 26 november 1968, die werden gefilmd en in theaters werden vertoond, en vervolgens in 1977 uitgebracht als homevideo, Farewell Concert. De groep kwam kortstondig twee keer weer bij elkaar na hun ontbinding: in 1993 voor hun inducering in de Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en opnieuw in 2005 voor een serie concerten. Bruce stierf in 2014 gevolgd door Baker in 2019, waardoor Clapton de laatste levendelid van de groep bleef.

In 1993 werden Cream opgenomen in de Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ze stonden op zowel de lijsten van Rolling Stone als VH1's van de "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", op respectievelijk nummer 67 en 61. Ze stonden ook op nummer 16 in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
