Showbusiness Giants is a Canadian indie rock band, with a rotating lineup centred around musician Tom Holliston. Other contributors to the band have included Scott Henderson, John Wright, Carolyn Mark, Ken Kempster, Keith Rose, Ford Pier and Jello Biafra, who appeared in spirit form only during a seance conducted by the mystical Holliston.

Their best known song, from their 1995 album Let's Have a Talk With the Dead, is "I've Got a Crush on Wendy Mesley."
