Tony Hatch (born 30 June, 1939 or 1940) is a British composer, songwriter, pianist, producer, and arranger.

He was born Anthony Peter Hatch. Encouraged by his musical abilities, his mother — also a pianist — enrolled him in the London Choir School in Bexley, Kent when he was ten. Instead of continuing at the Royal Academy of Music, he left school in 1955 and found a job with Robert Mellin Music in London's Tin Pan Alley.
