Los Speakers (the Speakers) was a Colombian rock band from the 1960s.

Much of their recorded material consisted of covers of popular bands of the era including the Byrds and the Beatles, as well as a couple of obscure Spanish group Los Brincos. As their music evolved, they would also write their own material. The original material is noted for ghostly downcast melodies and arrangements.

Their albums are sought after among collectors; especially the final album which is their most experimental.
