Hewligan’s Haircut is a comic series created by Peter Milligan and Jamie Hewlett that appeared in the British magazine 2000 AD in 1990. The title character’s name is a blend of Hewlett and Milligan, and a play on "hooligan".

The series is a surreal comedy. Hewligan, an inmate of an insane asylum, gives himself a haircut with a pair of plastic scissors only for an inexplicable hole to appear in his huge pompadour, causing an apocalyptic bending of reality. The plot takes the form of a madcap interdimensional quest for Hewligan and his reality-warping companion Scarlet O’Gasmeter to set things straight.

Writing about Hewligan’s Haircut for Time, Douglas Wolk remarks that as with “Milligan’s other comics, the idea of madness is a license to pour anything and everything onto the page”.{{Cite magazine|url=https://techland.time.com/2010/12/17/emanata-the-wrong-place-and-hewligans-haircut/|title=Emanata: "The Wrong Place" and "Hewligan's Haircut"|last=Wolk|first=Douglas|date=17 December 2010|magazine=Time|publisher=Time Inc.|access-date=3 April 2016}} Wolk cites MAD comics as a major antecedent of Hewlett’s artwork, which incorporates a self-conscious mishmash of techniques and reference points, including fanzines, collage, Dada, cubism and pop art.
