Natasha Maria Hamilton (born 17 July 1982 in Liverpool) is an English singer-songwriter, dancer and occasional stage actress. She was a member of Atomic Kitten.

Hamilton grew up in Kensington, Liverpool, and started singing and performing from the age of 12 in the Starlight Show Group. Hamilton also attended St. Sebastians Catholic Primary School, and then Broughton Hall Technology College, both situated in her hometown of Liverpool. Hamilton says she was inspired by Marvin Gaye, Barry White and Quincy Jones. After Heidi Range left the early incarnation of Atomic Kitten, Hamilton was offered the opportunity to replace her and joined in May 1999.

Hamilton decided to take her baby with her on the 2003 tour with Atomic Kitten. However, the group decided to take a lengthy break following the tour. Although they have not made a new album together since 2003, the group reform occasionally for one-off performances.

In 2003 Hamilton was winner of the annual Rear of the Year award.

After taking time away from music to raise her son, Hamilton made a return to music after appearing on the BBC1 television show, Just the Two of Us, which paired celebrities with recording artists to compete in a duet singing showdown. Eight couples competed before a panel of judges and the voting public. Hamilton was paired with Mark Moraghan, famous for his portrayal of Doctor Owen Davies in Holby City, and the pair came second. They performed classic songs like "Over the Rainbow" and "Do You Love Me".
