Remy Zero was an American alternative rock band from Birmingham, Alabama, formed in 1989. It was composed of August Cinjun Tate (vocals, guitar), Shelby Tate (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Cedric LeMoyne (bass), Jeffrey Cain (guitar, vocals), and Louis Schefano (drums), who was later replaced by Gregory Slay (drums, percussion).

Before Remy Zero had released any full-length albums, Radiohead found their demo tape and invited them to be part of the US tour for their album The Bends (1995). After that, Remy Zero moved from Alabama to Los Angeles to record their first album. The self-titled record received little recognition or sales. The subsequent album, Villa Elaine, generated some acclaim. Villa Elaine was recorded when the band was living in an apartment of the same name in Hollywood. Remy Zero's third album, The Golden Hum, was also received well. A 50-second version of the song "Save Me" from The Golden Hum was used as the theme song for WB/CW's Smallville during its ten-season run.

The band broke up after making The Golden Hum and many of its members went on to join new bands. Shelby and Cinjun created Spartan Fidelity, Cain joined Isidore and later created Dead Snares; LeMoyne toured with Alanis Morissette's band before joining O+S and later Rose of the West. Gregory Slay created Sleepwell.

Drummer Gregory Slay died on January 1, 2010, aged 40, of complications from cystic fibrosis. On May 22, 2010, Remy Zero played their first show together in eight years as a tribute to Gregory in New Orleans, the town where he was born. This was followed by the release of the new single "'Til the End" on the label Popantipop, on September 7, 2010.
