The Hammerskins, (also known as Hammerskin Nation) is a white supremacist gang formed in 1988 in Dallas, Texas.

The Hammerskins' primary focus is production and promotion of white power music, and many white power bands are affiliated with the group. The Hammerskins are affiliated with the record label Free Your Mind Productions.

The Hammerskins idealize historical warrior societies such as the Aryans, Vikings and Nazis. Many of its members have been convicted of harassing, assaulting and murdering non-whites.

The Hammerskin logo, depicting two claw hammers crossed to resemble goose-stepping legs, is copied from a fictitious neo-fascist organization depicted in the 1982 film Pink Floyd The Wall. However, Pink Floyd is in no way related to the group. The fictional group was intended to satirize fascism. Their motto is Hammerskins Forever, Forever Hammerskins (HFFH). The group's motto and logo often appear in their paraphernalia and tattoos.

The Hammerskins were at one time considered the United States' most well-organized racist skinhead group. Power struggles have split the group into several factions, some of which are now defunct. Chapters also exist in other countries, including Canada, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, New Zealand and Australia.
