James Patrick Page, OBE (Order of the British Empire) (born 9 January 1944) is an English guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as a studio session guitarist in London and was subsequently a member of The Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, after which he founded the English rock band Led Zeppelin.

Page is described by Allmusic as "unquestionably one of the all-time most influential, important, and versatile guitarists and songwriters in rock history", and by Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone magazine) as "the pontiff of power riffing & probably the most digitally sampled artist in pop today after James Brown." In 2007, Page was ranked at #4 on Classic Rock Magazines list of the "100 Wildest Guitar Heroes", and Rolling Stone ranked him number nine (List of guitarists considered the greatest#Rolling Stone) in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as a member of The Yardbirds (1992) and once as a member of Led Zeppelin (1995).
