A hat is a headcovering. It may be worn for protection against the elements, for religious reasons, for safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, they denote rank and regiment.

There are hats for men and hats for women, as well as hats worn by both sexes. Purveyors of men's hats are called hatters and purveyors of women's hats are called milliners.

A hat consists of four main parts:

* Crown – the portion of a hat covering the top of the head
* Brim – a projection of stiff material from the bottom of the hat's crown horizontally all around the circumference of the hat
* Peak or bill – a stiff projection at the front, to shade or shield the eyes from sun and rain
* Sweatband or hatband – a ribbon or band that runs around the bottom edge of the hat. The sweatband may be adjustable with a cord at the top. The band worn with various military hats, such as the Australian slouch hat and the pith helmet, is referred to as a puggaree
