Mona Foma, stylised as MONA FOMA (an acronym for Museum of Old and New Art: Festival of Music and Art, often further shortened to MOFO)^[1] was an annual music and arts festival held in Tasmania, Australia, curated by Violent Femmes member Brian Ritchie. Recognised as Tasmania's largest contemporary music festival,^[2] it featured a broad range of artistic genres, including sound, noise, dance, theatre, visual art, performance, and new media.

A wintertime version of the festival, Dark Mofo, is held annually in June, primarily showcasing events at night.
