Doughboys were a Canadian alternative rock band in the late 1980s and early 1990s, whose blend of punk with pop-style melodies was often compared to Hüsker Dü.

The band, from Montreal, was formed by John Kastner in 1987, following his departure from The Asexuals. The band released its debut album, Whatever, that year, although the original lineup of musicians shortly disbanded. The band subsequently coalesced around the lineup of Kastner on vocals and guitar, Jonathan Cummins on guitar, John Deslaurier on bass and Brock Pytel on drums, and released its second album, Home Again, in 1988.
