Coney Hatch is a Canadian hard rock band who released three albums in the 1980s. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the band consisted of vocalist and guitarist Carl Dixon, lead vocalist and bassist Andy Curran, guitarist Steve Shelski and drummer Dave 'Thumper' Ketchum. The band was known for its ear-damagingly loud live shows.

Coney Hatch formed in 1981, and began performing and developing original material. The band's first album was produced by Kim Mitchell and released in 1982. Ketchum left the band in 1983, and was replaced by Barry Connors who formerly drummed with the band Toronto.

In 1983 Coney Hatch opened for Iron Maiden at most of the concerts on their World Piece Tour.

The band performed at the Hollywood Palladium in 1985 with Rough Cutt and Accept.

On August 5, 2010 the original Coney Hatch line up including the now recovered Carl Dixon played a reunion show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.
