披頭四(英文:The Beatles,樂團原計劃取團名為The Beetles(金龜),但團員約翰藍儂在拼字時故意將「The Beetles」拼成「The Beatles」,但在中國大陸一般仍譯為「金龜」,台灣與香港則音譯為「披頭四」或「披頭士」),是一隊來自英國利物浦的著名流行及搖滾樂團。他們於1960年成立,主要成員包括約翰·藍儂(節奏吉他、主音、作詞作曲)、保羅·麥卡尼(貝斯、主音、作詞作曲)、喬治·哈里森(主音吉他)及林哥·史塔(鼓手)。
披頭四樂團被公認為英國音樂在二十世紀六十年代「入侵」美國的代表人物。儘管音樂風格源自五十年代的搖滾,他們也嘗試開拓其他曲風如迷幻式搖滾。他們的服飾、風格及言論使他們成為潮流的領導者,而隨著作品的社會意識日漸加深,他們的影響力也伸延到六十年代的社會及文化革命方面。當七十年代樂團解散後,各成員也分別以個人歌手的姿態繼續發展。
披頭四是流行樂壇歷史上,其中一隊在商業上最成功、最受讚揚的樂團。依RIAA官方統計,其為美國國內生涯銷量最高歌手,總銷超過1億7000萬張。[1]而全球銷量據信超過10億張。在英國,他們發行過超過40張冠軍單曲、大碟及EP。他們15張冠軍大碟的紀錄也是英國唱片銷量榜中最高的。
