Pavement fue una banda estadounidense de indie rock formada en Stockton, California, en 1989. El grupo principalmente estuvo integrado por Stephen Malkmus (vocalista y guitarrista), Scott Kannberg (guitarrista y vocalista), Mark Ibold (bajista), Steve West (baterista) y Bob Nastanovich (percusionista y vocalista).
Inicialmente concebida como un proyecto de grabación, la banda en inicio evitó la prensa y las actuaciones en vivo, mientras atraía una considerable atención clandestina con sus primeros lanzamientos. Pavement grabó cinco álbumes de estudio y nueve EPs en sus diez años de actividad, aunque se separaron con cierta aspereza en 1999, los miembros se mudaron a otros proyectos. En 2010, emprendieron un tour de reunión que fue bien recibido.
