Avtomobili is a Slovenian and former Yugoslav new wave music group associated with pop and rock musical styles.

Avtomobili was formed in 1982 in Nova Gorica by brothers Marko and Mirko Vuksanović. In the 1980s they performed in the republics of the former Yugoslavia, mostly outside Slovenia. Initial songs were sung in Serbo-Croatian language. Avtomobili released twelve albums, one of which was a live album called Klub Klubov. Two were compilations: Drugi Svet and Največji zadetki. For a limited time, the group was the opening act for Zoran Predin.
