Paz Lenchantin (born December 12, 1973) is an Argentine-American musician. She is best known for having been the bass guitarist and backing vocalist of the alternative rock band Pixies, playing with the band and recording three studio albums between 2013 and 2024.^[1] Prior to joining Pixies, Lenchantin was a member of Entrance, A Perfect Circle, Silver Jews and Zwan.

In April 2024, Consequence named Lenchantin the 75th greatest bass guitarist of all time, noting: "Not only did she fit in beautifully in [A Perfect Circle and Pixies], but she was also a shining light in Billy Corgan’s short-lived band Zwan. Along with holding down the low-end, she’s also a wonderful vocalist and a skilled violinist."^[2]
