A latch assembly, which is simply and rapidly assembled, and a drying machine having the same. The latch assembly is installed in the front panel of the drying machine, and a hook, which is locked to or unlocked from the latch assembly, is installed on a door of the drying machine. The latch assembly includes a latch main body having protrusions and fixing holes at opposite sides thereof, and a latch cover having protrusion-receiving holes and fixing protrusions at opposite sides thereof. The protrusions are formed on an operating portion extended from a base portion of the latch main body, and the fixing holes are formed in the base portion just below the protrusions. The protrusion-receiving holes are formed in an extended portion extended from the edge of a planar portion of the latch cover, and the fixing protrusions are formed on ends of the extended portion of the latch cover. When the latch cover is inserted into the latch main body, the protrusions are caught by the protrusion-receiving holes and the fixing protrusions are inserted into the fixing holes, thereby assembling the latch cover with the latch main body in a one-touch fashion.
