A Santa Compaña is the debut studio album by Galician pop band Golpes Bajos, released on 30 July 1984 by Nuevos Medios. It was written by band frontman Germán Coppini and keyboardist Teo Cardalda. It was produced in Madrid and Barcelona by Luis Fernandez Soria, Cardalda, and guitarist Pablo Novoa. The album artwork depicts all four band members, wearing traditional Galician women's clothing, standing on a field of rocks, except for Coppini, who is sitting at their feet. Its title refers to the Santa Compaña, a Galician folk myth.
A Santa Compaña mainly features a sound that embodies Sophisti-pop, post-punk, new wave, as well as elements of Latin music. It also draws influence from Italian pop and bossa nova.
