Forbes was a Swedish dansband popular in the 1970s consisting of Peter Forbes, Roger Capello, Claes Bure, Peter Björk, Anders Hector and Chino Mariano.

They are best known for representing their home country in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977 in London with the song "Beatles", finishing in last place with just 2 points, giving the country its worst result since Monica Zetterlund also finished in the same position fourteen years earlier in London. As of 2023, this remains the last time that the country ever achieved such a result.

Post-Contest, they released two studio albums and even changed their name to Varning and played more rock-influenced music.
