Mojo Nixon (born August 2, 1957) is a satirical psychobilly musician. He was born Neill Kirby McMillan, Jr. in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Nixon initially recorded with Skid Roper, who mostly provided instrumental backup. Their third album Bo-Day-Shus!!! contained the song "Elvis is Everywhere," a deification of Elvis Presley that is probably his best known song. He also frequently insulted contemporary celebrities such as MTV VJ Martha Quinn (in "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin"), Deborah Gibson and Rick Astley (in "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child"), Don Henley (in "Don Henley Must Die"), and David Geffen (in "Bring Me the Head of David Geffen"). Henley once appeared on stage with Nixon to perform "Don Henley Must Die," which won him Nixon's respect. Skid Roper left for a solo career in 1990. Since then Nixon has performed with Jello Biafra, as well as a new backup band, The Toadliquors.
