KC Accidental were a Canadian post-rock band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is also the title of a song recorded and performed by Broken Social Scene, a group which later evolved from KC Accidental. The band released two albums of mostly instrumental music.

KC Accidental was formed in 1998, and started out as a two-person recording project consisting of Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin. The "KC" in the band's name was taken from the initials of their first names. The pair began recording in a home studio; their debut album Captured Anthems for an Empty Bathtub was sold by Drew and Spearin exclusively through one shop in 1998 and quickly sold out.

The group released a second album in 2000 entitled Anthems for the Could've Bin Pills on Noise Factory Records, with the track listing featuring six blank tracks of 4 seconds each before the six music tracks, the blank tracks representing the six tracks on Captured Anthems. When Captured Anthems was reissued by Noise Factory in 2003, the opposite was done (i.e. six music tracks followed by six blank tracks).

Anthems for the Could've Bin Pills also included contributions from Jason Collett, Evan Cranley, Emily Haines, Jason McKenzie, Jessica Moss, James Payment, Bill Priddle, James Shaw and Justin Small. Many of these musicians went on to work with Broken Social Scene, who released their debut album, Feel Good Lost on Noise Factory in 2001.
