The Birmingham Sunlights is an American a cappella gospel singing group from the Birmingham, Alabama area.

This group developed their style within the Church of Christ, a Christian denominational group in which no instruments are used for performing church music. Brothers James, Barry, and Steve Taylor founded the group, originally consisting of them and Reginald Speights and Wayne Williams. The group has appeared at numerous music festivals in the United States and other countries.

The group was named as a recipient of a 2009 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States' highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.[1]
