Wust El-Balad (Arabic: وسط البلد) is an Egyptian soft rock band, founded in Cairo in 1999. The band released four albums, the self-titled Wust El-Balad in 2007, Rubabekya in 2011, Karakib in 2014, and Bantalony El Jeans in 2018.

Songs by Hany Adel of Wust El-Balad were popular during the 2011 Egyptian revolution. On 10 January 2011, the band performed four songs during the "Microphone for Alex" solidarity concert, including "Shams El-Nahar" (Morning Sun), "Hela Hop" (Let's Go), and "A'm Mina", as well as "Rubabekya" (Junk), the title track from their second album.
