Lagwagon is an American punk rock/skate punk band originally based in the small town Goleta located just outside Santa Barbara, California.

They have released nine albums through Fat Wreck Chords. Lead singer Joey Cape is also in the punk rock cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, the Playing Favorites, and the now defunct Bad Astronaut.
