Fun 100 were a Canadian indie rock band from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.

They formed on the first day of the year 2000. They mostly played in and around Vancouver, and have gone on two tours across Canada.

The band's name came from a roll of stickers that said FUN 100 on them. Since they already had the stickers, they decided to go with the name for their band.

Fun 100 broke up after playing a few shows scheduled in 2007, including one with Polysics.

Fun 100's songs often feature references to early 1990s pop culture, with subjects from Michael Moore's film Roger & Me, television programs like Full House, to family films including The Mighty Ducks and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Other influences and inspirations include the 1993/94 Vancouver Canucks, 1910 Fruitgum Company, Devo, the Pointed Sticks, Gary Numan, Japanese Pop Music, Moog records from thrift stores, and C.H.U.D.

Fun 100 frequents college charts in Canada, as well as spending time in the top 50 on both major Canadian campus radio charts, Chart (reached No. 27 in November 2005) and Earshot (#46 in November 2005).

Fun 100 has been featured in articles in several music publications including Terminal City and Discorder as well as CBC Radio 3's regular broadcast, website, podcast and satellite radio show. Positive reviews of the band have appeared in Vice Magazine, Maximum Rock n Roll, HeartattaCk, and The Nerve.
