UTFO (an acronym of Untouchable Force Organization) was an American hip hop group from Brooklyn, New York. The group consisted of Kangol Kid, Educated Rapper, Doctor Ice and Mixmaster Ice. The group's best known single is "Roxanne, Roxanne", a song that inspired a number of answer records and the Roxanne Wars.

Kangol Kid and Doctor Ice were originally a dance duet named The Keystone Dancers, and performed for Whodini. Eventually, they went on to form UTFO, and were mentored by R&B group Full Force. Signing to Select Records, the group released four albums during the 1980s before releasing their fifth and final album, Bag It & Bone It, in 1991.
