The Good Brothers are an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. They are currently signed to WWE, where they perform on the SmackDown brand under the team name Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

First put together in 2013 as part of the Bullet Club stable, they worked in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). They also worked as a tag team in the United States for Ring of Honor (ROH) and various promotions on the independent circuit. In NJPW, they are three-time IWGP Tag Team Champions, and the winners of the 2013 World Tag League. In February 2016, the two left NJPW to sign with WWE as Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, where they became two-time Raw Tag Team Champions, and the winners of the WWE Tag Team World Cup. In 2020, the two were released from WWE as part of budget cuts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and joined Impact Wrestling, upon which the once-informal moniker of the "Good Brothers" became their official team name, and winning three Impact World Tag Team Championships during their tenure there. They left Impact in 2022 and returned to WWE that October.
