"Cold Hard Bitch" is the fourth single (second in the United States) by the Australian rock band, Jet, from their 2003 album, Get Born. It was released in March 2004 and was written by band-members Chris Cester, Nic Cester, and Cameron Muncey. On the ARIA Singles Chart in the group's native country, it reached the top 40.

Heavily inspired by prior heavy bands such as AC/DC, the song is one of the heaviest in the group's catalog, being a tough hard rock tune with a simplistic chord structure. Besides doing well in Australia, it also garnered major airplay both in the U.K. and in the U.S. For example, it peaked at the No. 55 slot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Band-members Chris Cester, Nic Cester, and Cameron Muncey composed the tune. An embryonic version of it appeared on Jet's 2002 release Dirty Sweet (also known as Dirty Sweet EP), a four-song work from the band's early days. "Cold Heart Bitch" received a large scale release when the group's debut studio album, Get Born, came out on 14 September 2003.

The group's debut single, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", became their signature song and gained significant chart success in the U.S., making it their most successful hit there. That song had considerable pop radio airplay and peaked No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Cold Hard Bitch" came out several months later and peaked No. 55 on the Hot 100, yet it was more successful on rock n roll radio stations, reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks. "Cold Hard Bitch" ended up giving the band their only number-one Modern Rock hit in the U.S.: their prior hit, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", had peaked at No. 3. The single also spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart whereas their prior hit peaked at No. 7.
