The Hangman was a steel suspended-looping roller coaster located at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee. Opened in May of 1995, the ride was notably the last major attraction to be added to Opryland before the park closed at the end of the 1997 season.

The Hangman was located in the American West area of the park, in an area formerly occupied by the Tin Lizzies antique car ride.

Upon Opryland's closure, The Hangman was disassembled and sold to Premier Parks. Soon afterwards it was relocated and rebuilt at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom as "Kong" after Premier Parks acquired the Six Flags chain.

A similar ride, simply called "Hangman", continues to operate at Wild Adventures.
