"Hollywood Bitch" is a song by the American rock band Stone Temple Pilots. It is the second and final single from the group's fifth studio album, Shangri-La Dee Da. The song was written by vocalist Scott Weiland and bassist Robert DeLeo. Dean DeLeo stated in a 2001 interview that the main riff for the song was actually written before their second album, Purple (1994), had been released.

"Hollywood Bitch" was serviced to US rock radio on August 14, 2001, and became a top-30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts that October. In Australia, the song was released as a double A-side with the band's next single, "Revolution", in December 2001.
