Master's Hammer is a Czech black metal band formed in Prague in 1983. They were active, with several lineup changes, until 1995, and again from 2009 until 2020. They have released eight studio albums, five demos, one EP, two split albums, two live albums, and several compilations.

Although the band did not achieve commercial success or global recognition, they are held in high regard by seasoned members of the heavy metal subculture. According to MetalSucks, they are "one of those bands you have to really seek out, [and] other fans who’ve done the work will appreciate finding fellow fans." The site also said that "wearing a Master’s Hammer shirt will get you high fives from an array of metal musicians as well who often appreciate the musicality this band brought to black metal in the early days."
