The Hamburg Kingsmen was a senior marching and maneuvering corps based in Hamburg, New York. The Kingsmen was one of the earliest competitive corps, being formed, by one report, in 1924.

The corps participated in DCA Nationals competition from 1968 through 1976. Their highest finish was eighth, in both 1970 and 1973.

Ed Cozzalino was brass caption head and arranger for the Kingsmen.

The 1974 version of the Hamburg Kingsmen bought their uniforms from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point: dress greys with tails for only $5 a copy.
