"Banditos" is a song by American alternative rock band The Refreshments from their album Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy. The song is the band's best-known hit.

A music video was produced to accompany the single, in which the members of the band robbed a bank in Mexico and fled in lead singer Roger Clyne's Toyota Land Cruiser. They eventually give the police the slip through the use of a ridiculous disguise. The video was directed by David Dobkin.
