They Might Be Giants (comúnmente abreviado como TMBG) es una banda estadounidense de rock alternativo/universitario formada por John Linnell y John Flansburgh. Conocido por su experimental pop, el grupo ha sido popular en los campus universitarios estadounidenses y se ganó una reputación como banda de rock intelectual/empollón gracias a la poco convencional temática de su música, la cual a menudo contiene referencias a la historia, la ciencia, el cine, la literatura y la música de otros artistas.
