Hat Films is an English comedy and gaming YouTube channel comprising Ross Hornby, Alex Smith and Chris Trott. Since 2014, they have been part of The Yogscast network.

Whilst much of their early success came from the creation of several official Minecraft trailers, their gaming and vlog content makes up the majority of their channel, including games such as Grand Theft Auto, Minecraft and Rust. They are also film-makers and musicians, with their videos often including impromptu a cappella singing. They are also known for their music releases, such as their 2015 charity album Population: You, which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Comedy Albums chart.

They are the creators of the YouTube comedy series Stunt Lads, and were featured in the book Yogscast: The Diggy Diggy Book.
