Hollywood Land is a themed land at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The area is inspired by the 1930s Golden Age period of Hollywood and hosts attractions themed to this concept, including a backlot of a typical Hollywood studio. The land opened as Hollywood Pictures Backlot with the park in 2001.

The land's entrance once had towering studio gates that featured intricately carved elephants atop massive columns. The gateway was a tribute to the spectacular epics made throughout Hollywood history, especially pioneering director D. W. Griffith's 1916 silent film Intolerance. After the park's re-design, the archway sign, elephants and columns were removed, whereas the repainted pedestals remained.

The 3-D attraction, Muppet*Vision 3D opened with the park in 2001, the thrill attraction The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror opened in 2004, and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue, based on the Disney·Pixar film Monsters, Inc., opened in 2006 as part of the resort's Happiest Homecoming on Earth. The Red Car Trolley attraction, based on the Pacific Electric Railway, runs through the streets of Hollywood Land and neighboring Buena Vista Street.
