Hunters & Collectors, often referred to as the "Hunnas" by their fans, were an Australian rock band, formed in Melbourne in 1980. They were noted for songs such as "Throw Your Arms Around Me", "Talking To A Stranger" and "Say Goodbye" and were renowned as one of the best live acts in Australia until their disbandment in 1998.

The band took its name from the track "Hunters & Collectors", from album Landed by the German band Can and as it suggests the original band was influenced by the Krautrock genre and the productions of Conny Plank and featured strong percussive influences, coupled with noisy guitar and driving bass lines. The sound was in the vein of Remain in Light, the Talking Heads album of 1980.
