The Supremes lilikuwa kundi la waimbaji wa kike kutoka nchini Marekani. Kundi lilikuwa kiungo kikubwa kwa studio ya Motown Records kunako miaka ya 1960.

Awali lilianzishwa likiwa na jina la The Primettes huko mjini Detroit, Michigan, kunako 1959, midundo yao The Supremes ilikuwa pamoja na doo-wop, pop, soul, tuni za maonesho ya Broadway, psychedelic soul, na disco. Lilikuwa kundi lililopata mafanikio makubwa kibiashara kwa Motown, hadi leo, kundi la Kimarekani lililopata mafanikio zaidi likiwa na vibao 12 vilivyoshika nafasi ya kwanza kwenye chati za Billboard Hot 100.

Vibao vikali vingi vilivyotungwa na kutayarishwa na kikosi kikubwa cha utunzi na utayarishaji wa muziki cha Motown, Holland–Dozier–Holland. Wakati wa kilele chao katikati mwa miaka ya 1960, The Supremes walishindana vya kutosha na The Beatles kwa umaarufu dunia nzima, na mafanikio yao yameleta uwezekano wa baadaye kwa wanamuziki wa R&B na soul wa Kiafrika-Kiamerika kupata mafanikio sawa.
