Calibre 50 (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈliβɾe siŋˈkwenta]) is a regional Mexican band. Formed in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, in 2010. The band has had several lineup changes, with the current roster consisting of lead vocalist and accordionist Beto Gastélum, backing vocalist & twelve-string guitarist Tony Elizondo, sousaphonist Alejandro Gaxiola, and drummer Erick García.

The band is one of the most streamed regional Mexican acts in recent history. Their musical style employs a fusion of norteño and banda music, known as norteño-banda, with low notes played by a sousaphone instead of a bass guitar as is traditional in norteño music.
