The Rocklopedia Fakebandica, by T. Mike Childs, is an illustrated encyclopedia of fictional musical groups and musicians, as seen in movies and television.

The book grew out of a website started by the author in 2000. The website includes fictional bands from other sources, such as books and TV commercials, as well as bands not found in the book. On April 1, 2024, The Rocklopedia Fakebandica podcast debuted on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Hosted by T. Mike Childs, Charles Rempel and Alan Benson, the podcast explores the definition of fake bands, and continues to discuss entries from the book and website.
