"Lollipop" is the first single from American rapper Lil Wayne's sixth studio album, Tha Carter III. The track features American singer Static Major and is produced by Deezle and Jim Jonsin. It interpolates the theme song from the 2007 film 28 Weeks Later and heavily utilizes the Auto-Tune vocal effect. The song was released digitally on March 13, 2008.

"Lollipop" is Lil Wayne's and Static Major's most successful to date, spending five non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Static Major died two weeks before the release of the song, making the song the eighth to hit number one after the death of a credited artist. There are various versions of the song. The single was certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA for selling five million units in the United States and was ranked the number one hip hop song of 2008 by MTV. The song reached number one on the 2008 issue of Notarized by BET. The song was ranked at number one on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. With 9.1 million copies sold as of January 2009, "Lollipop" was named 2008's best-selling digital single worldwide by IFPI.

The music video was directed by Gil Green and filmed in Las Vegas at Gavin Maloof's residence in the Southern Highlands Golf Club. The video premiered via BET's Access Granted on March 12, 2008. It also reached number one on TRL in April on MTV.
