Thee Headcoats est un groupe de punk rock britannique, originaire de Chatham, dans le Medway, en Angleterre. Il est formé par le guitariste-chanteur Billy Childish, le batteur Bruce Brand, et Johnny Johnson à la basse. Ce groupe fut sans doute le plus prolifique des projets de Childish. Thee headcoats produisirent quatorze albums. Leur garage rock restait néanmoins dans la lignée des anciens groupes de Billy, tels Thee Milkshakes ou Thee Mighty Caesars avec parfois une touche de blues en plus. Les enregistrements produits par Billy Childish furent également distribués par son label, Hangman Records, ou le grunge de Sub Pop de Seattle. Le groupe se sépare en 2000.
