Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
De Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is een museum in de Amerikaanse stad Cleveland, gewijd aan het vastleggen van de geschiedenis van beroemde of invloedrijke rock-'n-rollmusici, -producers en anderen die hun stempel op dit muziekgenre hebben gedrukt.

Het gebouw, geopend op 2 september 1995, is gelegen aan de oever van het Eriemeer in Cleveland, ten oosten van het stadion van de Cleveland Browns en het Great Lakes Science Center.

Geschiedenis 
De Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is opgericht door Ahmet Ertegün, Jann Wenner en Suzan Evans. De eerste bijeenkomst was op 23 januari 1986. Daarin werden de eerste namen toegelaten: Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry en Fats Domino.  Sindsdien komt hier jaarlijks een beperkt aantal mensen of groepen bij via de Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in New York. 

Over de opname in de Hall of Fame beslissen ongeveer 600 musici en muziekdeskundigen. Tegenwoordig wordt een artiest of groep pas 25 jaar na het uitkomen van de eerste opname gekwalificeerd.
