Haysi Fantayzee were a British new wave band of the early 1980's.

Formed and fronted by white dreadlocked singers Jeremiah Healy and Kate Garner, the duo had several minor UK hits in 1983 such as the singles "John Wayne Is Big Leggy", "Shiny Shiny", and "More Money". The band often garnered musical comparisons to such other new wave pop acts as Bow Wow Wow, Bananarama, and Adam and the Ants. Garner appeared alongside Bananarama in the 1983 music video "Who's That Girl" by Eurythmics. The band's history was brief and the duo released only one studio album: 1983's Battle Hymns for Children Singing on RCA Records.

Kate Garner had a brief solo career after the break-up of Haysi Fantayzee and then focused on a hugely successful career in photography. One of her most noteworthy achievements is a photograph she took of Sinéad O'Connor that eventually became the cover art for O'Connor's 1987 debut album The Lion and the Cobra. Jeremiah Healy became a moderately successful DJ and album mixer for other artists, including Boy George.
