"Three Cool Cats" is a 1958 song by The Coasters, written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It was originally released as the B-side of The Coasters' hit single, "Charlie Brown".

"Three Cool Cats" is perhaps best known as one of the fifteen songs recorded by The Beatles for their Decca Records audition on New Year's Day 1962 at the Decca Studios in London. The Beatles' cover version featured George Harrison's vocals and Pete Best on drums. The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, personally chose this and the fourteen other audition numbers from the band's Merseyside dance hall and rock club repertoire. The recording was included on The Beatles' Anthology 1.
