Garfunkel and Oates is an American comedy–folk duo from Los Angeles, California, consisting of actress–songwriters Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates). The band name is derived from "two famous rock-and-roll second bananas", Art Garfunkel and John Oates.

The two met at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, where they were introduced to one another by comic Doug Benson. The duo was formed when they started working together to adapt "Imaginary Larry", a short film made by Lindhome, into a musical. Lindhome is from Coudersport, Pennsylvania; Micucci is from Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

In February 2009, the Garfunkel and Oates song "Fuck You" (reworked as "Screw You") was featured in the Scrubs episode "My Lawyer's in Love", which featured Micucci in a supporting role.

On December 14, 2009, Garfunkel and Oates were on The Jay Leno Show to perform their song "Year End Letter". On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, they performed "Pregnant Women Are Smug" on March 12, 2010, and "Self-Esteem" on May 18, 2010. In late October 2010, they performed "Weed Card" on The Tonight Show.

In 2010 they were featured on the track "These Girls", on Childish Gambino's album Culdesac.
