Stratus (originally "Clive Burr's Escape", then briefly known as "Tygon" and "Stratas"), was a short-lived English melodic hard rock supergroup. It was formed by ex-Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, the Troy brothers from then-inactive Praying Mantis; plus ex-Grand Prix vocalist Bernie Shaw and keyboardist Alan Nelson. The band split after only one album, Throwing Shapes, released in 1985. Bernie Shaw became the lead vocalist for Uriah Heep the following year.

The track "Run for Your Life" was featured on the soundtrack to the movie, Class of Nuke 'Em High.
