Bucketheadland is Buckethead's first studio album, released on John Zorn's Japanese record label Avant in 1992 (see 1992 in music). 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 abusement 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.
