The Trenchcoat Brigade is a four issue comic books limited series that was published in 1999 as a part of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint.

The title references an offhand joke used by John Constantine in the earlier Books of Magic to label a loose affiliation of mystics including himself, Phantom Stranger, Doctor Occult, and Mister E who share a preference for trenchcoat as their outdoor wear. (Constantine was knowingly paraphrasing the title of Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous "The Charge of the Light Brigade," about a reckless military event).

They first appeared together in Neil Gaiman's Books of Magic series, in which they attempted to guide Tim Hunter through various realms of Magic in the DC Universe in order to teach him all of Magic's abilities and consequences.

The group would later re-unite in the five issue mini-series The Names Of Magic, before finally getting their own miniseries.

The Trenchcoat Brigade has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
