"Hang Me Up to Dry" is a song by American indie rock band Cold War Kids.

Written and co-produced by all four band members and Matt Wignall, it originally came from their third EP Up in Rags (2006) and is the second track off their debut album Robbers & Cowards (2006).

The song was re-released (using the same catalogue number and track listing) on July 9, 2007 but failed to break back into the charts.

Cold War Kids made their U.S. television debut performing "Hang Me Up To Dry" on the Late Show with David Letterman on December 21, 2006.
