Anthony James Keith "Tony" Hymas (born 23 September 1943) is an English keyboard player, pianist, and composer.
Hymas started as a chorister at Exeter Cathedral School, where his contemporaries included composer and cathedral organist Barry Ferguson, and singer and pianist Roger Cleverdon. After leaving school, Hymas studied piano with Harold Rubens at the Royal Academy of Music. As company pianist for the Ballet Rambert in its resurgent 'modern' form, Hymas wrote a substitute score for Glen Tetley's Rag Dances over the course of eight days. After his employment at Rambert, Hymas found work in the busy London session scene of the 1970s.
In 1974 he composed the theme song to the UK television series Mr Men, based on the children's books by Roger Hargreaves.
