2006년에 출간한 4판의 모습

대중음악 백과사전(영어: Encyclopedia of Popular Music 인사이클로피디아 오브 포퓰러 뮤직^[*])은 1989년 콜린 라킨이 출판한 백과사전이다. 라킨은 아첨하는 듯한 말로 현대판 《The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians》라고 묘사하였다. 타임스는 이 책을 "다른 모든 사람들이 평가받아야 하는 스탠더드"라고 표현했다.

책

대중음악 백과사전은 1900년대 초반부터 현재까지 민속 음악, 블루스, 컨트리 음악, 리듬 앤 블루스, 재즈, 록, 헤비 메탈, 레게, 전자 음악, 힙합 음악을 포함한 광범위한 대중음악에 대해 소개하고 있다.
