"Don't Let Go the Coat" is a song written by Pete Townshend and first released on the Who's ninth studio album Face Dances (1981).

It was released as a single following up on the first single from Face Dances, "You Better You Bet", but did not achieve the same success, reaching number 47 in the UK and number 84 in the US. It has also been released on several compilation albums, and Pete Townshend himself released an alternate version of the song on his compilation album Another Scoop (1987).
