RIDER CHIPS is a Japanese hard rock band comprised of Yoshio Nomura (野村 義男 Nomura Yoshio, Guitar), Koichi Terasawa (寺沢 功一 Terasawa Kouichi, Bass), JOE (Drums), and Ricky (Vocals).

RIDER CHIPS was formed to provide songs for the popular Kamen Rider franchise. According to CD jackets, they are the official band of the Kamen Rider franchise since 2000. Originally, the band consisted of only Yoshio, Koichi, and JOE (of ZIGGY). At that time, different vocalists were used periodically (as seen in their Otonagai album). As of 2006, Ricky (formerly of DASEIN) has joined the group full-time as the vocalist. They are currently under the avex mode label.
