Finks Motorcycle Club
The Finks are an Australian outlaw motorcycle club that was formed in Adelaide, Australia, in 1969 and now also has chapters in other states. The name comes from The Wizard of Id cartoon where the peasants, to his dismay, often proclaim, "The King is a fink!". The logo used by the Finks is of Bung, the king's jester. The pants worn by the jester used to differ in colour depending on the state the chapter resides in.

The club was restricted by government actions in South Australia. Despite rivalries, various other groups joined to protest the South Australian government's proposed "anti-bikie legislation".
It was reported in October 2013 that most members were to switch to the United States-based Mongols Motorcycle Club.
In 2019, a leader of the Finks Motorcycle Club committed suicide while awaiting charges for violent drug- and weapons-related offenses. Brent Reker moved cells shortly before he took his own life, and the incident is being investigated by the Victorian Coroners Court.
