Falling Joys is an Australian alternative rock band formed in Canberra in 1985. They were composed of lead singer Suzie Higgie, guitarist Stuart G. Robertson, bass guitarist and vocalist Pat Hayes, and drummer Pete Velzen. They frequently played at the ANU's refectory bar, and supported international touring acts, including, in 1989, The Buzzcocks. Towards the end of the band's life, Velzen was replaced by Jason Morrisby on the recording of one EP (Universal Mind).

In February 2011, Falling Joys played their first live show in 15 years at the outdoor amphitheatre of the National Museum of Australia, Canberra.
