Seigmen was a Norwegian alternative rock band in the 1990s. The bandname is derived from a Norwegian brand of (sweet) candies, "Seigmenn". The band went from a hard-edged grunge-like style to a more dynamic sound with more ambient parts and use of synthesizers and various audio-effects. They broke up in 1999 after a farewell tour.

Seigmen reunited during the UKA-festival in Trondheim, Norway on October 20, 2005, and decided in November 2005 to do even more reunion-gigs in Norway — 7 shows in February 2006. Having great success with the reunion-tour, they did six gigs at various festivals across Norway during the summer of 2006, most of them as the headlining act.

Recent media appearances reveal that Seigmen do not exclude another reunion sometime in the future. They played their final gig in Steinkjer, Norway, August 19, 2006 at Steinkjer-festivalen.
