The Shmoo Group is an American organization founded by Bruce Potter in the late 1990s as a non-profit security think-tank. The Group is comprised of industry notables such as anonymity guru Len Sassaman, PGP Corporation CTO Jon Callas, and Hollywood film system administrator Adam Shand, and hosts various projects at their website, such as Tinfoil Hat Linux.

The name of the group is not from the Shmoo creature of the Li'l Abner cartoon, but taken from the nickname of one of the group's charter members.

The Group runs and sponsors various initiatives, and runs the annual ShmooCon conference, which was founded in 2005. Other projects include:
