Machiavel is een Belgische rockformatie uit Wallonië, opgericht in 1974. Bassist Roland Degreef en drummer en zanger Marc Ysaÿe speelden eerst bij de band Moby Dick. Later kwamen keyboardist Albert Letecheur en gitarist Jack Roskam erbij en werd de naam in Machiavel veranderd. Ze vormden de eerste Eurock-band in België. Hun muziek wordt regelmatig vergeleken met symfonische rockbands zoals Genesis, Yes en Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Machiavel, named after Niccolò Machiavelli, is a Belgian rock group formed in 1974 and still currently recording and touring today. The band's first few albums are typical of the progressive rock movement while the later albums were more in a new-wave rock direction. By mid 1970s, Machiavel had established themselves as one of the most popular Belgian groups.
