Persone is a rock trio from Stockholm, Sweden whose songs are sung in Esperanto. It was created in 1986 for the first Cultural Esperanto Festival (Kultura Esperanto-Festivalo). The band has been comprised of the current members since 1990. The name is a play on words, and can be interepreted two ways: person-e 'personally' or per-son-e 'by means of sound'.

Persone often plays concerts at conventions for young Esperanto speakers, for example the International Youth Congress (Internacia Junulara Kongreso) and the International Seminar (Internacia Seminario). The group has come out with five albums to date, from the cassette 62 minutoj (1987) to the rock CD ...sed estas ne (1999), and the acoustic CD Sen (2002).
