The Republican Guard Band (French: Orchestre de la Garde républicaine) is a military band unit of the French Republican Guard, which is part of the National Gendarmerie.

Its official debut dates back to 1852, when a concert was organized in honor of Jean Paulus, its founder and the first leader of the band.

[3][4] Since March 1, 1997, the band has been under the command of Colonel François Boulanger, with Lieutenant-Colonel Sébastien Billiard as his deputy.

The concert band and string orchestra perform either separately or as a combined ensemble during state dinners, festivals, or government organized concerts with the French Army Choir, sometimes the role is played upon the symphony orchestra and the Fanfare Bands.

As a general rule the bandsmen wear the blue uniform of the Republican Guard in all functions.
