Nazi-Skinheads are a far right subculture that developed in the United Kingdom around the beginning of the 1980s. Typically racist, anti-Semitic and National Socialist, it emerged at a time when the UK was experiencing a second wave of the Punk subculture. The original skinhead subculture started in the late 1960s and had mostly died out by 1972. The revival came as a sort of backlash against the commercialization of punk rock.

Although the original skinhead subculture had heavy British Mod and Jamaican Rude boy influences — including a love for Ska and Soul music — the revival included a sizeable racist nationalist faction, including organizations like Rock Against Communism, Blood and Honour and later, the Hammerskins.

Because of this, the mainstream media began to label the whole skinhead style as neo-Nazi or fascist. The racist subculture eventually spread to North America, Europe and other areas of the world, continuing to grow in the 1990s. It may still be expanding, partly due to revenue invested in promoting the music, style, and culture to youths.

Nazi skinheads are often called "Boneheads" by traditionalist skinheads and Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice.
