Lobos is the Spanish word for wolves, appearing in English primarily in place names and proper nouns: Los Lobos (the rock band), Point Lobos (the California headland), Isla de los Lobos.

In these contexts it typically refers to sea lions or seals, which Spanish explorers called "sea wolves." The word sometimes appears in discussions of Mexican or Southwestern culture where wolf imagery carries symbolic weight.
