Kistehén (originally Kistehén Tánczenekar) was a Hungarian alternative band known for its eclectic musical style and whimsical lyrics. Founded in 2002 by László Kollár-Klemencz, the band gained initial fame through a catchy tune featured in a Sziget Festival advertisement, which led to their debut album Zene a nyulaknak (Music for the Rabbits) in the same year .

Kistehén's music was a unique blend of alternative rock, folk, reggae, ska, and gypsy music, often infused with absurdist and dadaist lyrics. Their sound evolved over time, incorporating elements of poetic pop and dance music.

In 2020, Kistehén announced their decision to disband, stating they had expressed all they intended through their music. They embarked on a farewell tour, culminating in their final concert on April 29, 2022, at Budapest Park.
