La Coka Nostra (or short LCN) is an American hiphop supergroup, comprised mainly of all former members of House of Pain, one former member of Non Phixion and various other MCs and producers.

The groups's name is derived from the notorious criminal organization (La) Cosa Nostra, which means "This Thing Of Ours", with the Italian word Cosa ( "thing" meaning "business") being replaced by the Spanish word Coka which stands for Cocaine. Slaine has noted the idea for the name was to incorporate some slang with the gangster theme, so the name would mean "This Dope Thing Of Ours", with "dope" being slang for something cool, and not actual drugs.

Although La Coka Nostra have yet to release a proper single, the mere posting of their songs on their myspace.com page music player helped generating a huge fan base, and becoming a minor internet phenomenon. The group's debut album and a documentary DVD are currently in production and to be released in 2007.
