Unexpect (often stylized as uneXpect, unexpecT, and UnexpecT) was a Canadian avant-garde extreme metal band from Montréal, featuring an amalgamation of progressive metal, death metal, black metal, melodic heavy metal, and other styles including European classical, medieval, opera, gypsy jazz, electro, ambient, noise, and circus music.

The band's debut album, Utopia, was independently released. With unorthodox distribution and online support, the album sold successfully. They released their two following albums via The End Records, before returning to independent releases.
