Grant Lee Buffalo é uma banda de rock de Los Angeles, California, formada por Grant-Lee Phillips (vocals and guitar), Paul Kimble (bass) and Joey Peters (drums)
Todos os três eram anteriormente membros de outra banda de Los Angeles, Shiva Burlesque. O Grant Lee Buffalo lançou 4 discos : Fuzzy (1993), Mighty Joe Moon (1994), Copperopolis (1996) and Jubilee (1998) (este último sem Kimble, que havia deixado a banda no ano anterior). Nos Estados Unidos, a banda talvez melhor ser lembrado por sua única 1998, "Truly, Truly".
