The Movieland Wax Museum was a commercial wax-figure attraction located in Buena Park, California, near other Orange County theme-park developments. The museum exhibited wax likenesses of film and television personalities and themed displays about Hollywood.
The attraction operated during the later 20th century and closed in the early 21st century; the exhibits and facility were removed and the site subsequently redeveloped. Historical references to the museum remain in local tourist histories of Buena Park and the surrounding area.

- Current status: The attraction closed to the public in 2005 and the former site has since been redeveloped, so it no longer operates as a visitor museum.
