The Pumps is a hard rock/AOR band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, that was formed in 1978. The band split up in 1982.

Taking their name from a random pick in a Winnipeg phone book, The Pumps formed in early 1978 and centred around friends Chris Burke-Gaffney on vocals and bass, lead guitarist Lou Petrovich, and drummer Terry Norman Taylor. Within a few months, Brent Diamond joined on keyboards.
Later continued without Petrovich as Orphan.
