Gli Stryper sono un gruppo musicale heavy metal statunitense, formatosi a Orange County, California nel 1982.

La musica della band trae ispirazione da gruppi come Scorpions, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith e Queen. Gli Stryper sono ricordati da molti come gli iniziatori del christian metal, per via delle loro liriche inneggianti al Cristianesimo, ma soprattutto per essere stato il primo gruppo christian metal ad aver guadagnato un enorme successo ed il primo ad essere trasmesso su MTV. Questo attribuisce loro il merito di aver diffuso per primi il culto dell'heavy metal cristiano a livello mondiale, e quindi di essere i capostipiti di questa corrente tematica-musicale.

Il gruppo guadagnò una certa notorietà durante tutti gli anni ottanta fino al loro declino e scioglimento nel 1993. La band si è poi riformata nel 2000, pubblicando l'album Reborn nel 2005. Il nome "Stryper" deriva da un verso della Bibbia di Re Giacomo (Isaiah 53:5:)

«...but he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.»

Inoltre la band ha dichiarato che il nome sta per:

"Salvation Through Redemption, Yielding Peace, Encouragement, and Righteousness."
