Rivermaya is a Filipino alternative rock band. Formed in 1994, it is one of the several bands that spearheaded the 1990s Philippine alternative rock explosion.

Rivermaya is currently composed of original members Mark Escueta and Nathan Azarcon, together with the band's longest-serving guitarist, Mike Elgar. Notable former original members include chief songwriter Rico Blanco and vocalist Bamboo Mañalac, who later formed the band Bamboo and eventually went on his solo career.

Rivermaya is among the top thirty best-selling artists in Philippine history.

In October 2023, events producer Live Nation Philippines announced that the classic 1994–1998 quartet lineup of Mañalac, Blanco, Azarcon, and Escueta will be having a reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque.
