A locking hook includes a hook member, a lock member, and a latch member. The lock member is pivoted on the first portion of the hook member to be turned between a first position and a second position. The latch member is provided on the operating portion of the hook member to be moved between a lock position and an unlock position to secure and release the lock member. The hook member further has a gripping portion for a user to grip the hook member. Therefore, the user grips the gripping portion instead of the hook member, and this may prevent the user from being hurt accidentally by the object hung on the hook member.
