The Red Crayola was a psychedelic, avant-garde rock band from Houston, Texas, formed by art students in the late 1960s and led by singer/guitarist and visual artist Mayo Thompson. Their work predated punk and the no wave scene in 1980s New York City.

Thompson has continued using the name, in its legally-required permutation The Red Krayola, for his musical projects since.
