Cicatriz was a punk rock band from the Basque Autonomous Community (Spain) formed in 1983. They had a big significance for the Basque Radical Rock (Rock Radical Vasco or RRV).

The first name was "Cicatriz en la Matrix", which included Natxo Etxebarrieta and his girlfriend Poti, together with Pescadilla on bass, Pedro Landatxe on the drums and Pepin Arteaga on guitar. The group is consolidated with Natxo and Poti as the singers, and this line-up recorded a demo in Pamplona, in 1984, with the songs "Botes de humo" (Tear Gas), "Cuidado burócratas" (Warning Bureaucrat) and "Aprieta el gatillo" (Pull the trigger). That same year, Poti left the band.
