Noir Désir (French pronunciation: [nwaʁ deziʁ], lit. 'black desire') was a French rock band from Bordeaux that formed in 1980. Their most consistent lineup featured Bertrand Cantat (vocals, guitar), Serge Teyssot-Gay (guitar), Frédéric Vidalenc (bass guitar) and Denis Barthe (drums). Jean-Paul Roy became the band's bassist in 1996 after Vidalenc's departure.

They released six albums, two of which were certified double platinum in France and three which were certified gold. They have been an influence on numerous French musicians including Cali, Louise Attaque and Miossec. Their most popular song, "Le vent nous portera" (2001), reached number one in Italy and number three in France.

The band entered an inactive state after frontman Cantat was imprisoned for the 2003 murder of French actress Marie Trintignant. While Cantat was released in 2007, the band ultimately disbanded in 2010 because of internal conflicts.
