"The Groover" is a 1973 single by the British glam rock band T. Rex. Neither the track nor its B-side are taken from an album. However, they are often added as bonus material on re-releases of the 1973 album Tanx or the 1974 album, Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow.

The single was in the UK Singles Chart for a total of nine weeks, peaking at No. 4,[1] making it the last T. Rex song to enter the top ten.[2][3][4][5][6]

Cash Box said that with this song "a remarkable dance item that should drive [T. Rex's] huge following absolutely wild."[7]
