"Hangman Jury" is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. It was released as a promotional single in 1987 on the album Permanent Vacation. It was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, and outside collaborator Jim Vallance. In contrast with the rest of the album which contains highly polished glam metal, the song is a mostly blues song. The chorus has a close similarity to "Linin' Track" by Lead Belly.
