The Real McKenzies
The Real McKenzies er et canadisk keltisk punkband, der blev grundlagt i 1992 i Vancouver, British Columbia. De er blandt grundlæggerne af den keltiske punk-bevægelse, selvom det er omkring 10 år efter The Pogues.

Udover at skrive og optræde med original musik, så optræder Real McKenzies med traditionelle skotske sange med en punkrock-arrangement. De har også delt scene med mange andre bands og kunstnere inklusive Rancid, Shane MacGowan, DragStrip Riot, NOFX, Flogging Molly, Xcrosscheckx, The Misfits, Metallica og Voodoo Glow Skulls.

I begyndelsen af 2015 udkom en biografi om bandet skrevet med titlen Under the Kilt: The Real McKenzies Exposed af Chris Walter.
