The Jesus and Mary Chain é uma banda de rock alternativo da Escócia, cujas músicas eram compostas pela dupla de irmãos Jim Reid e William Reid, formada em 1984 e que voltou aos palcos em 2007, após uma pausa de oito anos.
Ficaram conhecidos por unir melodias inspiradas no rock dos anos 60 (The Velvet Underground, Beach Boys, The Who) ao som sujo e distorcido criado com pedais e amplificadores. Os shows ao vivo eram notórios pela indiferença da banda em relação à plateia. Jim Reid chegava a tocar de costas para o público e alguns shows duravam apenas dez minutos. No fim dos anos 80, a Universidade Politécnica de Londres foi palco de uma revolta do público contra a banda. Os pagantes destruíram o auditório da Universidade, em uma onda de violência que expôs os irmãos Reid aos holofotes da mídia especializada.
A banda serviu de inspiração para o shoegaze, apesar de eles próprios não fazerem parte do gênero.
Em 1999, após uma série de brigas, os irmãos Jim e William Reid anunciariam o fim do Jesus and Mary Chain.
Mas em abril de 2007 a dupla se reuniu novamente no festival Coachella, Califórnia. Após um breve show de pré-estreia na quinta-feira (26), em Pomona, também na Califórnia, os irmãos Reid tocaram por cerca de uma hora no deserto de Índio. Foram uma das atrações da noite de abertura do festival, que também trouxe de volta aos palcos as bandas Happy Mondays e Rage Against the Machine. Em uma performance aclamada pelo público e pela crítica, Jim e William surpreenderam positivamente tocando as principais canções da carreira e até uma faixa inédita. A execução da música "Just Like Honey" contou com a participação especial da atriz Scarlett Johanson nos vocais de apoio. A canção foi tema do filme "Encontros e Desencontros", dirigido por Sophia Coppola e protagonizado por Scarlett.
