14 Bis is a Brazilian pop-rock band. The band took its name from Santos-Dumont's 14 Bis airplane.

The band was formed in 1979 in the state of Minas Gerais, when the members of two bands, "O Terço" and "Bendegó" decided to merge. Flávio Venturini and Vermelho, two founding members of 14 Bis, were also members of the Clube da Esquina band.

The musical genre of 14 Bis is quite varied. The band always mentioned The Beatles as one of their major influences. Nevertheless, Brazilian Folk and Popular Music (MPB) is a strong element in many of 14 Bis compositions. The influence of progressive rock such as Emerson Lake and Palmer is also quite evident in many of its compositions, such as in their use of analog keyboards and complex vocal arrangements.

The group reached the peak of their success during the eighties with notable compositions and performance of popular Brazilian songs. Due to the mild, often happy and soothing theme of many of its compositions, the band was quite popular among children.
