Men At Work var et australsk reggae-inspireret rock band der kom frem i begyndelsen af 1980-erne. De er bedst kendt for deres hit "Down Under" fra 1982, som blev en kommerciel succes i mange lande. Det blev den uofficielle sang til den australske succes i 1983 America's Cup og er for mange unge under 40 blevet den uofficielle nationalsang.[kilde mangler]
