The Boxhamsters are an active punk rock music band from Gießen, Germany, founded in 1987. Active members are: Co (vocals, guitar), Niels (guitar), Philipp (bass) und Ulf (drums). The band's name comes from the Monty Python play "Upperclass Twit of the Year" the German translation of which features a certain Mr. Boxhamster.

Along with other German punk bands like EA80 and Angeschissen/Dackelblut, the Boxhamsters see themselves in the angry German punk tradition but set off from this tradition/genre by pensive sensible lyrics and a 'first think then strike' attidude.
