The Four Freshmen er ein amerikansk mannleg vokalkvartett. Han blandar open-harmoniske jazzarrangement i storbandstilen til vokalgrupper som The Modernaires (Glenn Miller), The Pied Pipers (Tommy Dorsey) og The Mel-Tones (Mel Torme). Bandet vart skipa som ei barbershopgruppe. The Four Freshmen vert rekna som ei vokalgruppe fordi songarane akkompagnerer seg sjølv på gitar, blåsarar, bass og trommer.

Gruppa vart skipa i 1948 og var på sitt mest populære i midten av 1950-åra. Det siste originale medlemmet gav seg i 1993,[1] men gruppa turnerer framleis internasjonalt og har spelt inn jazzharmoniar sidan slutten av 1940-åra i salane i Jordan School of Music på Butler University (Indianapolis).[2]
