"Batten the Hatches" is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs. Originally self-released in 2005 by Youngs, it was reissued with the bonus track "Hot in Herre" two years later by the Nettwerk label.

The track "Fuck Was I" was used in the first episode of the of the Showtime series "Weeds", to illustrate a scene in which main character Nancy Botwin, a part-time marijuana dealer, discovers that her new lover is in fact a DEA agent. This appearance reportedly lead to sales of the album increasing from five to ten per week to between twenty and thirty per day.
