Caesars are a Swedish indie rock band. In their native Sweden, the band was originally known as Caesars Palace, a name which was changed to avoid conflicting with the name of the Las Vegas hotel. In the rest of Scandinavia they are known as Twelve Caesars. Elsewhere they go by the name Caesars.

Outside of Sweden, they may be best known for the song "Jerk It Out" which was originally featured in the snowboarding video Afterbang in 2002, as well as the Electronic Arts video games SSX 3 and FIFA Football 2004, and on the PlayStation 2 game LMA Manager 2005. The song also appeared in the Wii games Just Dance and Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova, and in the Wii version of Samba de Amigo as downloadable content. It has also been the backdrop of television advertisements for brands such as iPod (2005) and Renault (2009). The song is featured on the band's 39 Minutes of Bliss (In an Otherwise Meaningless World), Paper Tigers, and Love for the Streets albums.

They have won German Grammy Awards for best robot dance and best new artist.

Their song "We Got to Leave Babylon" is the theme song for the television series Confessions of a Matchmaker. The song also appears in films such as John Tucker Must Die and The Benchwarmers, and it is featured in the end credits of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
