Faraoni (trans. The Pharaohs) were a Slovenian and Yugoslav rock and pop band formed in Izola in 1967. Although they were not among the earliest Yugoslav rock bands, Faraoni, as other Yugoslav rock groups of the 1960s, played a pioneering role on the Yugoslav rock scene.

Faraoni started their career performing covers of foreign beat and pop rock hits, before moving towards rhythm and blues. In the 1970s the band moved towards progressive rock, disbanding in 1972. In 1979, original Faraoni drummer Nelfi Depanger reformed the band. The reformed Faraoni performed as a backing band for a number of pop singers, most notably Oliver Dragojević, and released the band's first studio album in 1988. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the band turned towards pop sound, releasing seven more studio albums. They officially ended their activity in 2007, reuniting occasionally for anniversary performances and concerts in larger venues.
