Piano rock, sometimes referred to as piano pop, is a term for a style of music that is based around the piano, and sometimes around piano-related instruments, such as the Fender Rhodes, the Wurlitzer electric piano, and keyboard-based synthesizers.

Unlike the classic rock combination of lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and vocals, piano rock puts the pianist front and center. Traditionally, piano rock has not been as prevalent as classic rock. However, modern bands such as Ben Folds Five, Keane, Coldplay, Evanescence, and The Fray, and solo artists such as Fiona Apple, Tori Amos and Rufus Wainwright, have heavily featured keyboard instruments in their songs.
