Paraorchestra, sometimes referred to as British Paraorchestra, based in Bristol, United Kingdom, is an integrated orchestra of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians, the first ever orchestra of its kind in the United Kingdom.

The Paraorchestra was formed by conductor Charles Hazlewood in 2011 as a project to create a platform for the top disabled musicians, with the hope that its success would lead to better integration of disabled people into music and performing arts.

The orchestra performed its first live show at Glastonbury Abbey in July 2012 (which was also the subject of a Channel 4 documentary) and received international attention when it played alongside Coldplay during the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London in September 2012.

The orchestra accompanied Hannah Peel in 2022 on het album The Unfolding and performed classic indie rock songs with Suede vocalist Brett Anderson on the 2024 album Death Songbook.
