Kebnekajse is a Swedish band that was most active during the 1970s after its members left the Mecki Mark Men. The band was greatly influenced by both traditional Swedish folk music and African music. The name is taken from Kebnekaise, the highest mountain in Sweden. The spelling of the band name was originally the correct spelling of the mountain, but for the last two albums (Kebnekajse and Idioten), it was changed it to the present spelling.

The band categorised itself as progressive rock but, at the time in Sweden, progressiveness was a political rather than a musical concept.

The band uses guitar, violin, congas, drums, bass^[ambiguous] and other instruments. Kebnekajse played a variety of styles starting from hard rock, but moved to folk music, symphonic rock and jazz fusion. With the 2009 album, the band returned to progressive folk.^[1]
