The Hu (stylized as The HU) is a Mongolian folk metal band formed in 2016.

Some of the band's lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry in the Mongolian language.The Hu consists of Galbadrakh "Gala" Tsendbaatar, Nyamjantsan "Jaya" Galsanjamts, Enkhsaikhan "Enkush" Batjargal, and Temuulen "Temka" Naranbaatar. They have released the studio albums The Gereg (2019) and Rumble of Thunder (2022).
