'''Keiino''', often stylized as '''[=KEiiNO=]''', is a Norwegian {{supergroup}} comprised of vocalists Fred Buljo, Alexandra Rotan, and Tom Hugo.

Keiino is best known for representing Norway in the Series/EurovisionSongContest 2019 with the song "Spirit in the Sky". Although they didn't win, the song placed first in the public televote and sixth overall, giving Norway their best result in close to a decade at that point. The group itself was formed specifically for Norway's national selection, Melodi Grand Prix, which Hugo and Rotan had previously competed in as solo acts.

After Eurovision, the group continued to perform and record together, releasing their debut album ''OKTA'' in 2020. In January 2021, it was revealed that the group would be returning to MGP, competing with the song "Monument".

----
!! [=KEiiNO=] provides examples of:
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Each member of the group was born a decade apart across three decades, with Alexandra being the youngest (born in 1996) and Tom being the oldest (born in 1978).
* MeaningfulName: Their name is derived from Fred's hometown of Kautokeino, which translates to Guovdageaidnu in Northern Sámi ; "-geaidnu" means "way" or "road", which "represents the road that brought us together."
* RegionalRiff: Much of their music incorporates joiking from Buljo, who claims Sámi heritage. "Spirit in the Sky" marked the first time a Sámi language was featured in the Eurovision Song Contest.
* {{Supergroup}}: The band was created specifically for their first Melodi Grand Prix entry, after each of them had already established themselves in the Norwegian music industry and appeared in various competitions like MGP, ''[[Series/PopIdol Idol]]'', and ''[[Series/BritainsGotTalent Norske Talenter]]''.
