"Punkrocker" is a song written and originally performed by the Swedish electronic/alternative group Teddybears. The song first appeared on their 2000 album Rock’n’Roll Highschool, and was covered later that year by Caesar's Palace (later known as Caesars), a band which also includes Teddybears member Joakim Åhlund.

The song has been covered multiple times, with the best known version of the song internationally being a 2006 re-recording by Teddybears with featured American singer Iggy Pop on lead vocals. This version of the song was a minor hit in the United States, and appeared in a Cadillac ad campaign in 2007.
