Jambinai (Hangul: 잠비나이) are a Korean post-rock band formed in Seoul in 2009. Their debut album Différance won the award for Best Crossover Album at the 2013 Korean Music Awards. Their sophomore album Hermitage was released in 2016 on Bella Union.

Jambinai are known for mixing post-rock with Korean folk music using both traditional rock instruments (drums, bass guitar, electric guitar) and traditional Korean instruments (haegeum, piri, geomungo). They are often compared to bands like Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Mogwai.
