Molchat Doma (Russian: Молчат Дома, lit. 'Houses are silent', pronounced [mɐlˈt͡ɕat dɐˈma])[1][2] is a Belarusian band from Minsk, formed in 2017. Its current lineup is Egor Shkutko (vocals), Roman Komogortsev (guitar, synthesizer, drum machine), and Pavel Kozlov (bass guitar, synthesizer). Its style has been called post-punk, new wave, synth-pop, and cold wave.

Molchat Doma self-released its first album, S krysh nashikh domov (С крыш наших домов, 'From The Roofs of Our Houses') in 2017 and released its second album, Etazhi (Этажи, 'Floors') in 2018, through German independent label Detriti Records. After gaining popularity worldwide, in 2020, they signed to American independent label Sacred Bones Records, which reissued its albums, marking its first releases in North America. Its third studio album, Monument (Монумент), was released on 13 November 2020, and its fourth, Belaya Polosa (Белая полоса, 'White Stripe'), on 6 September 2024.
