8 Foot Sativa are a New Zealand-based metal band formed in 1998. They are often known by their fans as "8 Foot". Their most famous single is their self titled song, "8 Foot Sativa".

Vocalist and drummer brothers Matt and Sam Sheppard exited the band after the third album Breed the Pain to rejoin their old group Sinate. Ben Read and Jamie Saint Merat from Ulcerate have filled the respective shoes, joining longtime guitarist Gary Smith and recent addition second guitarist William Cleverdon. Longtime bassist Brent Fox departed late in 2006, tired of label hassles. The band currently has Romilly Smith handling bass duties and Christian Humphreys, from New Way Home , filling in on guitar while Will recovers from hand difficulties.
