Fisherman's Friends are a folk music group from Port Isaac, Cornwall, who sing sea shanties. They have performed locally since 1995 and signed a record deal with Universal Music Group in March 2010. The group is essentially a cappella, though its studio recordings and live shows now often include simple traditional instrumentation.

Their shows combine traditional songs of the sea with contemporary folk music and a large dash of humour. Because the members are semi-professional, the band do not tour extensively, and usually embark on short tours in November and February/March. In 2023 Simon Johnson and Marcus Bonfanti joined the live line-up.
