Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were a rock and roll group from the United Kingdom who performed in the late 1950s and 1960s. The group frequently appeared wearing eye-patches and other pirate-style clothing, but sometimes showed real rock power behind the gimmick.

Johnny Kidd, real name Frederick Heath, was the group's frontman and sometime songwriter. The group's first single was the raw and rocking "Please Don't Touch", which was a minor hit reaching number 25 on the UK singles charts in 1959. The song has since been covered many times, most successfully by Motörhead and Girlschool.
