Bendik Brænne (born 17 August 1987) is a Norwegian producer, artist, and songwriter.

Growing up, Brænne started writing songs in the basement of his childhood home with older brother Mattis Brænne Wigestrand. Both of them, who at the time played in different ska/punk bands, started writing songs together for their respective bands. This evolved into an ongoing collaboration.

As a backing musician Brænne has performed with several well-known music groups, and appears on albums by Kurt Nilsen, Amund Maarud, Dumdum Boys, Jonas Alaska and many more.

His debut album, How To Fake It In America, was released in March 2013. The album won the Spellemannsprisen (Norwegian Grammys) for best country album in 2013. Later that year Brænne released "Aloha from Torshov", an EP containing four songs.

In October 2014 he released his second album, titled Do you know who I think I am. The album got a Spellemansprisen nomination.

September 1, 2017 Brænne released his third solo record, The last great country swindle. The album featured Canadian artist Daniel Romano, and members of Los Plantronics. The album won Spellemannsprisenfor best country album. A year after, almost to the date, Brænne released Benedictionary. An album written, produced, recorded, played and designed by Brænne himself.
