Hedley is a Canadian rock quartet fronted by lead singer Jacob Hoggard, who placed third during the second season of the reality TV series Canadian Idol in 2004.

The band originated in Abbotsford, British Columbia and was named after the town of Hedley, British Columbia, a name chosen after members heard that it was for sale for $346,000. While the idea of buying the town ran its course, the name remained.

The current members are vocalist Jacob Hoggard, bassist Tommy Mac, guitarist Dave Rosin, and drummer Chris Crippin.

Following Hoggard's success on Canadian Idol, he, with a reformed Hedley, was signed with Universal Music Canada. Their debut single "On My Own" reached number one on the Canadian Singles Chart and the follow-up "Trip" peaked at number 11. The singles "On My Own", "321", "Trip", and "Gunnin'" topped the MuchMusic Countdown. Their last single, "Street Fight", was successful on both the MuchMusic Countdown and the Canadian Singles Chart.

In the summer of 2006, they signed a record deal with Capitol Records in the United States where they recently finished a promo tour.
