Stille Volk (meaning "The Silent People" in Dutch and German) is a folk band from the Pyrenees area of France. The band formed in 1994, and draws inspiration from Celtic and medieval music.

The lyrics are usually sung in French, Catalan or Occitan, and are mostly pagan-themed, evoking nature, myths, magical beings and sorcery.

The band members identify with a form of paganism they define as a nature-based aesthetic and having a subjective view of the world; they reject organised religion and political interpretations of paganism. The band is sometimes associated with the folk metal genre, probably due to the use of electric guitars on the Ex-uvies album. The other albums, however, are not related to this genre in any way. It is notable, though, that the two members of Stille Volk play together in a folk metal band called , highly reminiscent of Stille Volk. The name "Stille Volk" comes from "Encyclopedia of Elves" by Pierre Dubois where it was a name for "troglodyte elves [i.e. dwarves] from German mythology". The phrase "Stille Volk" is ungrammatical in German. (en)
  • Stille Volk ("Il Popolo Silenzioso" in lingua olandese) è una band di genere folk/ e celtic originaria dell'area pirenaica della Francia. Il gruppo si è formato nel 1994 e si ispira alla musica celtica e medievale, componendo spesso in occitano. I membri suonano quasi esclusivamente strumenti tradizionali, ad eccezione dell'album Ex-uvies, di natura più sperimentale. Oltre all'occitano non è raro nei loro pezzi il francese e il occitan. I temi partono da tematiche pagane, spaziando tra la mitologia e il folklore popolare. L'impronta folk metal dell'album Ex-uvies ha poi influenzato la formazione della band Hantaoma, composta tra l'altro da due dei tre membri degli Stille Volk, Patrick Lafforgue e Patrice Roques. (it)
