Impetigo was an American death metal band formed in 1987. They signed with the record label Wild Rags, which released their album Ultimo Mondo Cannibale in 1990.

They were among the first bands to use clips from films and other media as intros for their songs. This inspired other death metal bands, most notably Mortician to do the same.

Their lyrical themes mostly include 1970s and '80s splatter films, cannibal films, mutilation and gore.
