Ramones Maniacs is a 2001 tribute album to the punk rock band the Ramones, released by Trend Is Dead! Records. The album's track list is an exact match of the band's 1988 compilation album Ramones Mania, which had been released by Sire Records.[1] The album has 26 tracks, played by bands from across the United States, plus one from Australia and one from Canada. Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone plays on the track "Blitzkrieg Bop", along with the band of which he was then a member, Youth Gone Mad.

All artwork was created by Tim Bradstreet.

Cited as having the "Greatest Number of God-Awful Band Names" by Mark Prindle of SPIN magazine in 2009.[2]
