The Menhaden Chanteymen is a musical group based out of Carteret County, North Carolina. They are a group of retired African-American commercial fishermen who publicly perform the work songs they used when hauling nets.

Their work draws from the genres of hymns, gospel, blues, and barbershop quartet songs.^[1] In 1990 the Menhaden Chanteymen recorded a collection of maritime work songs, "Won't You Help Me to Raise 'Em: Authentic Net Hauling Songs from an African-American Fishery," for Global Village Music.^[2]
