Rednex is a Swedish musical group whose style is a mix of country music and eurodance, with their appearance and stage names taking inspiration from American redneck stereotypes. The band has gone through multiple lineup changes throughout its existence and none of the original members remain in the band.

The name "Rednex" was chosen as a deliberate misspelling of the word "rednecks".

The group enjoyed success throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, with the novelty songs "Cotton Eye Joe" (1994), "Old Pop in an Oak" (1994), "Wish You Were Here" (1995) and "The Spirit of the Hawk" (2000) all reaching #1 in several European countries. "Cotton Eye Joe" was the group's only U.S. hit; it reached number 25 on the Billboard charts in March 1995.
