2013년 공연 중인 로의 모습

로(영어: Low)는 1993년 미네소타주 덜루스에서 결성된 미국의 인디 록 밴드이다. 결성 당시 멤버 알란 스파호크(기타 및 보컬)과 미미 파커(드럼 및 보컬)이 남아있다. 이전의 베이스 멤버는 1993년부터 1994년까지 존 니콜스, 1994년부터 2005년까지 작 샐리, 2005년부터 2008년까지 맷 리빙스톤, 2008년부터 2020년까지 스티브 개링턴이었다.

로의 음악은 느린 박자와 최소한의 편곡이 특징이다. 초기 음악은 "슬로코어"라고 불리는 록 하위 장르로 주로 묘사됐으며, 1990년대 초 로와 비슷한 스타일을 추구했던 베드헤드와 비슷하다는 평을 받는다. 하지만 로의 멤버들은 이 용어를 사용하는 것에 부정적인 의사를 표했다.
