Hibria (stylised in all caps) is a Brazilian power metal band, known for their technicality and speed. The band cites influences from traditional metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, thrash bands such as Metallica and Megadeth, and progressive bands such as Dream Theater.

Hibria toured across Europe in 1999, in the "Against the Faceless" demo tour, playing 29 concerts through Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Poland. The band was on the roster to perform at ProgPower USA XVI in September 2015, which would have been their first time performing in the United States. However, they were not allowed into the country and did not get to perform. In December 2017, it was announced that Iuri Sanson, Eduardo Baldo, Renato Osorio, and Ivan Beck would be leaving the band. One more release titled Moving Ground, featuring this lineup, was released in February 2018 in Japan.
