Os Mutantes (Portuguese for The Mutants) was an influential band that arose out of Brazil's Tropicalia movement of the late 1960s.

Even during a period of worldwide musical experimentation and exploration, Os Mutantes stood out as being inventive with their musical styles, spanning psychedelia, pop, blues, and rock genres. The group experimented with distortion, wordplay, feedback, and unusual instruments to create a free and playful pop sound. According to the liner notes of Everything is Possible, one of the main instruments on Le Premier Bonheur du Jour is an aerosol bugspray can. In their later years, Os Mutantes were under a high influence of progressive rock.
