Machine Men was a Finnish heavy metal band that originally formed as an Iron Maiden cover band.

Vocalist Toni Parviainen started singing in 1998, with inspiration from Bruce Dickinson. Machine Men took their name from a song present on Dickinson's 1998 album "The Chemical Wedding".

After a two-year hiatus, the band broke up in February 2011 due to lack of interest from the members.
