Njurmännen, also known as "The Kidney-Men," is a Swedish band formed in Linköping in September 1983, primarily based in Gothenburg.

The only constant members have been Magnus "Air" Axelsson and Anders "Skuggan" Göransson. Before Njurmännen, they were part of a group called Mer Kött, which existed from 1981 to 1983.

In 1984, Stefan Karlsson joined, but both he and co-founder Johan Lindén departed by the year's end. The next release, "Masters 1992," was recorded by Axelsson and Göransson in early 1985 and released on their own label, also named Njurmännen, after initially being put out on Spunk. Throughout the years, the band expanded its lineup, with Peter "Lina" Andersson joining in spring 1985 and sound technician Bo "Bobo" Wieslander becoming a full-time member later. Bassist Jonas Skoglund joined in fall 1985 but left within a year. The band released their debut vinyl, the 12"-EP "Cerebral
