Farmakon is a Finnish progressive death metal band formed in 2001. The band is currently made up of guitarist/vocalist Toni Salminen, vocalist Marko Eskola, and bassist Pekka Kauppila. They have released two studio albums to date, and are writing a third, as of January 2009. The band uses both clean and growling vocals, as well as incorporating jazz and funk elements into their music.

Their debut album, A Warm Glimpse, was released in 2003, and the opening track, "Loosely of Ameobas" was included on Earache's "Metal: A Headbanger's Companion II" compilation.

Robin, the band's second album, was released February 21, 2007, and in America on April 29, 2008. The album was awarded 10th place in Metal Storm's top death metal album of 2007 ranking.

They are currently working on material for a new album, tentatively entitled Syan. The band has announced that former drummer Riku Airisto has agreed to handle the drums on the album, due to the departure of Matti Auerkallio.
