Bucketheadland is the debut album by musician Buckethead, released on John Zorn's Japanese record label Avant in 1992. It features several samples of the 1960s Japanese television series Giant Robot (a.k.a. Johnny Sokko in several countries) amongst guitar riffs by Buckethead. The concept of the album is a tour around the construction of the fictional "abusement" park "Bucketheadland". Because of this, the album has been split into distinct sections of the areas of the park. "Wonka in Slaughter Zone" makes reference to Willy Wonka. The second disc of the album features "dance remixes" of some of the tracks.

Bucketheadland was recorded at Bootsy Collins' "Bootzilla Studios" and produced by Bootsy himself.

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