Battered Wives was a Canadian punk rock band from Toronto, active during the late 1970s.

Battered Wives consisted of Toby Swann (guitar and vocals), Larry "Jasper" Klassen (bass and vocals), John Gibb (guitar) and Cleave Anderson (drums), and released their first eponymous album in 1978. This pawned the hit singles "Daredevil," "Suicide," "Lover's Balls", and "Uganda Stomp (Bomp Idi Bomp)", that poked fun at the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
