Bucketheadland is the debut studio album by solo artist Buckethead, released on John Zorn's Japanese record label Avant Records in 1992. Featuring many samples of the Japanese TV Show Giant Robot amongst guitar riffs by Buckethead. The concept of the album is a tour around the construction of the fictional "amusement park", "Bucketheadland", because of this, the album has been split into distinct sections of the areas of the park.

A sequel was released in 2003, simply titled Bucketheadland 2.
