Giant is a melodic rock group from the United States, established in 1987. The original lineup included founding members Dann Huff (vocals, guitar), Alan Pasqua (keyboardist), Dann's brother David Huff on drums, and bassist Mike Brignardello. The Huff siblings were also instrumental in founding the Christian rock ensemble White Heart.

The band gained notable commercial recognition with their 1990 power ballad "I'll See You in My Dreams", a composition by Alan Pasqua and Mark Spiro. After releasing two albums, Giant dissolved in the early 1990s but reunited in 2000 without Pasqua, subsequently issuing the album III in 2001.

In 2009, Frontiers Records announced the release of Giant's fourth studio record, Promise Land, which came out in early 2010. This iteration of the band featured Terry Brock on lead vocals and John Roth handling guitar duties. While Dann Huff was unavailable due to other projects, he still contributed as a co-writer on seven songs and appeared as a guest guitarist on two tracks.

Following a 12-year gap between studio albums, Giant unveiled Shifting Time on January 21, 2022. Their subsequent album, Stand and Deliver, was released on May 16, 2025.
