It is shown that certain ensembles of random matrices with entries that vanish outside a band around the diagonal satisfy a localization condition on the resolvent which guarantees that eigenvectors have strong overlap with a vanishing fraction of standard basis vectors, provided the band width W raised to a power μ remains smaller than the matrix size N. For a Gaussian band ensemble, with matrix elements given by i.i.d. centered Gaussians within a band of width W, the estimate μ ≤ 8 holds.
