Blackfoot is an American Southern Rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, United States, formed during 1969. Though they primarily play with a Southern rock style, they are also known as a hard rock act.  The band's classic lineup consisted of guitarist and vocalist Rickey Medlocke, guitarist Charlie Hargrett, bassist Greg T Walker, and drummer Jakson Spires.

They had a number of successful albums during the 1970's and early 1980's, including Strikes (1979), Tomcattin' (1980) and Marauder (1981).

The band chose the name Blackfoot to represent the American Indian heritage of its members: Jakson Spires (from Oklahoma) had a Cheyenne/French father and a Cherokee mother; Rickey Medlocke's father was Lakota Sioux and Blackfoot Indian, and his mother's side is Creek/Cherokee, Scottish and Irish; Greg "Two Wolf" Walker is part Eastern (Muskogee) Creek, a federally-recognised Florida Indian tribe. Charlie Hargrett was the only white man of the original, classic line-up.
