In Extremo (Latin for "At the Edge") is a German medieval metal band formed in Berlin in 1995. Their music blends heavy metal with traditional folk and medieval elements, including bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies, shawms, harps, and lutes.

The band is known for blending modern rock structures with historical texts and melodies, performing songs primarily in German as well as in Latin, Old Norse, Old High German, Occitan, among others. In Extremo is also recognized for its theatrical live performances, which feature medieval costumes and pyrotechnics.
