Hinge and Bracket was a British comedy and musical act consisting of two characters, Dr Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Bracket, devised and played by female impersonators George Logan and Patrick Fyffe. Hinge and Bracket were portrayed as a pair of elderly, intellectual female musicians; in these personae, Logan and Fyffe played and sang songs to comic effect. They rose to fame in the 1970s and made many appearances on television and radio. The two generally performed together but, on rare occasions, appeared separately.

The partnership ended when Patrick Fyffe died of cancer on 11 May 2002, at the age of 60. George Logan died on 21 May 2023, at the age of 78.
