"Hook Jaw" is a British comic adventure story published in the weekly anthology Action from 14 February to 12 November 1977 by IPC Magazines.
The story is centred around a great white shark with a gaff hook lodged in its lower jaw. Created by Pat Mills and Geoff Kemp, the strip largely happened from Hook Jaw's point of view, portraying the shark as a creature simply following its instincts and forever under attack from amoral humans. Mills would later describe it as an ecological story. "Hook Jaw" was heavily criticised by the British tabloid press for its level of violence.
