Naked Lunch is a band from Klagenfurt, Carinthia, Austria, founded in 1991. They started out as an alternative rock band, mixing hard rock guitars and fragile vocals. In the nineties, they connected with the German band The Notwist, in Weilheim, with whom they still have ties; their producer, Olaf Opal, is also working for The Notwist.

The group's album Songs for the Exhausted was recorded after a long hiatus (when they nearly disbanded) and saw the band abandon their rock roots and turn to a more experimental, electronic approach to their songs.

They have a cult following in Austria and Germany. In 2007, a new album, This Atom Heart of Ours, was released.
