Hladno pivo (Croatian pronunciation: [xlǎːdno pîːʋo]; trans. "Cold beer") is a Croatian punk rock band. It is one of the most popular rock bands in Croatia.

The band was formed in Zagreb, Croatia. It initially consisted of five members: Zok, Tedi, Suba, Stipe and Mile. The band started playing under the influence of bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Zabranjeno pušenje, Električni orgazam, The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Riblja čorba, Azra.

On May 21, 1988 the band held their first concert in Kumrovec. In 1988 band has also held an unsuccessful concert at lake Jarun in Zagreb, due to the drummer of the band which played before them refusing to leave the drums for Hladno pivo.

In 1989 Stipe left the band (to form Falschspieler). This year was also important because Zok, Tedi, Suba and Mile recorded their first demo. The demo consisted of six songs: "Für immer Punk" (a Goldene Zitronen cover), "Bonzo", "Savršeni marginalci", "Niemals", "Buntovnik" and "Čelične zavjese". The demo was recorded at Jozo in Trešnjevka, Zagreb. One week later, Mile and Zok were sent to do their military service.
