Hadaka apron (裸エプロン), from the Japanese word hadaka, meaning nude, and the English word apron, is the word for a small niche clothing fetish. "Hadaka apron" is used to refer to when a person, usually a woman, wears an apron over a nude, or partially underwear covered, body.

The epitome of the "teaser shot", hadaka apron is extremely popular on Japanese CG artwork websites as a theme, especially for sites which attempt to titillate without being explicitly adult. It is also reported to be very popular in Japan amongst newlyweds as a form of foreplay, and was the subject of several pin up images from the United States in the 1950s.

The popularity of this fetish originates from a segment of the late night Japanese television show Gilgamesh Night, in which AV ("adult video"—the Japanese term for direct-to-video pornography) actress Yuki Hitomi would cook while wearing only an apron.

Naked aprons are also featured on the 2003 series Barely Cooking, seen on Citytv. It is a mostly standard cooking show, with a male and female host demonstrating simple recipes while wearing large aprons that cover everything except the buttocks.

Other "hadaka" fetishes include:

• Hadaka socks / hadaka la socks: naked except for some form of socks
• Hadaka shoes: naked except for shoes, like a streaker
• Hadaka tie: naked except for a necktie or bow tie
• Hadaka ranset: naked except for a specific type of backpack, usually drawn on young looking characters (since a ranset is usually used by children to go to school with)
• Hadaka ribbon: naked except for ribbons, usually tied to cover like a bikini
