The Wyrd Sisters are a Canadian folk music group.

The band formed in 1991 in Winnipeg, Manitoba as a duo consisting of singer-songwriters Kim Baryluk and Nancy Reinhold. Lianne Fournier joined the band in 1993. In 2000, vocalist Kiva also joined the band.

In 2005, the group undertook a legal action against Warner Brothers, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, and two members of Radiohead, because of a scene in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie adaptation. In the novel, there is a band called "Weird Sisters", and though the band (presumably consisting of the three musicians listed) is supposedly not named in the movie, the real Wyrd Sisters felt that confusion could result. Their suit was dismissed.
