SS501 (dibaca Double S 501) adalah boy band asal Korea Selatan. Grup ini terdiri dari 5 orang anggota di bawah manajemen DSP Entertainment.

Anggotanya terpilih dalam acara pencari bakat m!pick bulan Maret 2005. Acara hasil kerja sama televisi kabel KM dan Mnet ini membuat mereka populer. Kafe khusus penggemar bahkan sudah dibuka sebelum SS501 resmi memulai debutnya. Singel perdana mereka "경고" (Gyeonggo) dirilis bulan Juni 2005. Anggotanya aktif sebagai MC, model, bintang iklan, pertunjukan beragam, DJ, dan aktor.

Awalnya, "S" pertama dari "SS501" adalah singkatan untuk "Super", sedangkan "S" kedua untuk "Singersongwriter". Angka "5" melambangkan jumlah anggota, 0 melambangkan "tak terhingga", dan "1" berarti nomor 1. Namun sekarang, "S" pertama berarti "Sun, Star, Special" yang menjadi lambang masa depan mereka. Sementara "S" kedua adalah singkatan untuk "singer", dan "501" berarti 5 yang abadi menjadi satu.^[1]

Pada April 2006, SS501 manggung di Nippon Budōkan memperingati mulai mengudaranya televisi kabel Mnet Japan. Di keesokan harinya mereka mengadakan jumpa penggemar. Konser pertama di Jepang diadakan di Grand Cube Osaka, bulan September tahun yang sama. Setelah bersiap untuk debut di Jepang, singel maxi "Kokoro" dirilis bulan Agustus 2007. "Kokoro" sampai di tangga lagu Oricon urutan ke-5.^[1] Singel kedua, "Distance ~Kimi to no Kyori" dirilis 19 September 2007, dan sampai di urutan ke-3 Oricon.^[1] Setelah itu, album perdana, SS501 dirilis 24 Oktober 2007.

Kesuksesan di Jepang membuat SS501 menerima Penghargaan Piringan Emas Jepang ke-22, Maret 2008 sebagai salah satu dari 10 artis pendatang baru terbaik.^[2]
