The Flower Pot Gang was a children's entertainment group originating from Australia, established in 1996 by Phillip 'Phil' Barton (guitar and vocals), Kristy Gentz (vocals), and Benjamin 'Ben' O'Hara (drums and vocals). Their albums Happy Little Flower Pots (1997) and Flower Pot Gang (1999) earned nominations for the ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 1998 and 2000, respectively. The ensemble ceased activities in 2000. Following the group's split, Barton contributed as a co-writer to the track "A Woman Like You" (2011), performed by American country musician Lee Brice, as well as "Cowboys Duty" (2015), which appeared in the motion picture Sicario.
