The Sorcerer's Hat, Entertainment structure at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, United States

The Sorcerer's Hat was a blue conical structure shaped like a wizard's hat, with a wide rounded brim and a tip pointing upward. Three silver five-pointed stars and a large silver crescent moon decorated its front, and a dark opening under the brim revealed gold ribbons and gold stars. Mickey Mouse's white-gloved hand and ears emerged from the ground beside it, framed by large gold rings. It stood in front of The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The Sorcerer's Hat debuted on September 28, 2001, during the 100 Years of Magic celebration, replacing the Earffel Tower as the park's marketing icon. It was built in front of The Great Movie Ride. Disney confirmed its removal in October 2014; dismantling ran from January 7 to February 25, 2015, after fans complained it hid the replica Chinese Theatre.

The hat took its form from the blue sorcerer's cap worn by Mickey Mouse in the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of Disney's 1940 film Fantasia, where the apprentice's magic escapes his control. Under the brim, the structure held a pin trading and sales station, and Disney characters made meet-and-greet appearances around it through the day.

The structure was visible from the pedestrian areas during park hours without requiring separate admission and served as a clear landmark when arriving. The shaded area underneath provided shelter during inclement weather and created a natural meeting point for guests.

The hat was nearly built twice as tall, with two Ferris wheels as ears and Walt Disney: One Man's Dream beneath it, before the retail side of the park funded a smaller version at the park's center as a pin trading station. Pieces of the structure were later sold in the "Piece of Walt Disney World History" pin series, released January 7, 2016, in an edition of 1,500.
