The Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones is an a cappella group at Harvard University founded in 1985 by a group of undergraduates. It is one of several contemporary co-ed a cappella groups at the college.

The Veritones have performed for Laverne Cox, Jason Alexander, and Josh Groban in addition to singing with Bobby McFerrin on the Harvard campus. The group sang the NFL theme on national television for a 2016 Patriots vs Texans Thursday Night Football game. In 2019, they performed for the cast of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in a celebratory ceremony on Harvard's campus for the show's cast and producers. The Veritones regularly perform with other national and international a cappella groups, such as the Nor'easters, Oxford University's Out of the Blue, and the UCLA Scattertones.
In 2013, they were featured on BuzzFeed’s Top 15 Contemporary A Cappella Performances for their version of Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble".
