Blue Foundation er en musikgruppe dannet i London af Tobias Wilner. Siden 2008 har bandet bestået af Tobias Wilner (producer, multi-instrumentalist og vokalist) og Bo Rande (multi-instrumentalist og producer). Blue Foundation har opnået stor international succes med deres drømmende og filmiske lyd. De er specielt kendt for deres sange Eyes on Fire fra Twilight Saga og Sweep fra Michael Manns Miami Vice.

Blue Foundation har udgivet fire studio albums, senest det kritikerroste album I My mind i Am Free fra september 2012.

På albumet Life of a Ghost fra 2007 tager Tobias Wilner bandet i en ny og mere dyster retning. Der er referencer til tidlig The Cure, Dinosaur Jr, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Swirlies men de har også dykket dybere ned og udforsket genre som Black Metal.

I 2008 optager Tobias Wilner sangen Watch you Sleeping med den amerikanske sangskriver Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon) og daværende medlem Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg. Sangen bliver udgivet på Tobias Wilners pladeselskab DPC Records.
