A feathered headdress is a piece of headgear worn by the chief of the Sioux tribe of Native Americans. The feathered headdress sports a multitude of feathers, starting on top of the head and then cascading down the wearer's back. The feathers atop the head generally stand vertically, while the feathers down the back stand out horizontally. The feathers do not lie flat.

The feathered headdress is often considered to be a major feature of Native American dress, and is probably the most easily recognizable. However, in reality, this hat was worn only by the Sioux tribe of the Midwestern plains.
