Greta was a hard rock group from the United States, established in 1990 by Paul Plagens, Kyle Baer, Josh Gordon, and Brad Wilk. In 1991, Wilk departed to become a member of Rage Against the Machine and was succeeded by Scott Carneghi, who went on to co-found Buffalocomotive in 2012.

In 1993, the band secured a contract for two albums with Mercury Records, releasing their first album, No Biting, on September 21 of that year. Their sophomore and final studio effort, This Is Greta, was issued in 1995 before the label ended their partnership. The band dissolved later that same year. Lead singer Paul Plagens passed away on August 7, 2015, reportedly from complications related to hepatitis C.
