The McCalmans (originally The Ian MacCalman Folk Group) was a Scottish folk trio remembered for their three-part harmonies, humour, and deep love and respect for the folk tradition in Scotland. In 2004, The McCalmans were inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame and were presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Formed on 6 October 1964, they recorded and toured without interruption until they disbanded in December 2010. They performed all over Europe, and in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Kenya, Cyprus, Belize and the Falkland Islands. They had six television series and BBC Network Radio series and appearances.

The original trio was formed by Ian McCalman (born in Edinburgh on 1 September 1946) on his first day at Edinburgh College of Art, where he, Derek Moffat (born near Dundee) and Hamish Bayne (born in Nairobi, Kenya) were studying architecture. Bayne left the band in 1982 and was replaced by Nick Keir. Moffat died as a result of cancer in 2001, and was replaced by long-term friend of the band, Stephen Quigg. The group disbanded in 2010, when McCalman decided to retire from touring. He now runs a recording studio. Keir and Quigg continued to tour together until Keir's death in 2013.

The McCalmans recorded 22 albums, excluding reissues and compilations. In 2004 The McCalmans were inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame and were presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
