* The metal band [[Anthrax (American band)|Anthrax]] included a song about Judge Dredd on their third album (''[[Among the Living]]'') entitled "[[I Am the Law (song)|I Am the Law]]". It is one of their most popular and well-known songs, and often features as an encore to setlists. They also released a 12" single and a 7" picture disc, both bearing the image of Dredd.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030118031855/http://anthrax.com/images/discs/singles/ant_law.jpg Image of record from archive.org].

* The UK band [[The Human League]] also wrote a song about Judge Dredd. "I Am the Law" appeared on the album ''[[Dare (album)|Dare]]''.
* [[The Screaming Blue Messiahs]] recorded a song entitled "Mega-City One" on their final album ''Totally Religious''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://musicbrainz.org/release/1be47b62-71f9-4fc5-9ea2-328d03b98eab.html |title=Release: Totally Religious |publisher=MusicBrainz |date=26 September 2008 |access-date=28 February 2009}}</ref>
* The [[Manic Street Preachers]]' song "Judge Yr'Self" was influenced by the comic, and was intended to appear on the ''Judge Dredd'' film soundtrack. It reached the demo stage, but after lyricist and guitarist [[Richey Edwards]] disappeared, the other members of the band said that a song for a soundtrack was the last thing on their mind.<ref name="manic">{{Cite web|url=http://www.staybeautiful.net/index.php?mode=interviews&view=get&interview_id=00004|title=staybeautiful.net: interviews|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031010060016/http://www.staybeautiful.net/index.php?mode=interviews&view=get&interview_id=00004 |archive-date=10 October 2003 }}</ref> Edwards himself was heavily influenced by the Judge Dredd and ''2000 AD'' comics (the slogan "Be pure. Be vigilant. Behave" from the ''2000 AD'' strip ''Nemesis the Warlock'' was included in the song "P.C.P."). A fully produced mix of "Judge Yr'Self" (by long time [[Manics]] producer [[Dave Eringa]]) was released on the 2003 double-album of B-sides and rarities, ''[[Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers)|Lipstick Traces]]''. Richey was a great fan of Judge Dredd and even had one of his drawings published in the comic during his late childhood.<ref name="manic" /> Richey was later parodied as "Clarence" of the "Crazy Sked Moaners" in the Dredd story ''Muzak Killer: Live! Part 3'' (prog 838, 5 June 1993), in a scene which parodied the infamous 1991 incident of Richey carving 4 REAL into his forearm with a razor (Clarence lasers 4 RALE{{sic}} into his forehead).
* [[Simon Pegg]] is a fan of ''2000 AD'', and Judge Dredd memorabilia (supplied by the comic) appears in the background of several episodes of ''[[Spaced]]''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Marshall|first1=Rick|title=25 Random Facts about Judge Dredd|url=http://www.ifc.com/2012/09/judge-dredd-3d-facts|website=IFC|access-date=26 January 2017}}</ref>
* Multiple references to the 1995 film are made on the sitcom ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'', notably by [[J.D. (Scrubs)|J.D.]] at the end of the episode "[[His Story II]]", while being wooed by [[Elliot Reid|Elliot]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://scrubs.mopnt.com/scripts/318.php |title=scrubs.mopnt.com |access-date=5 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217012016/http://scrubs.mopnt.com/scripts/318.php |archive-date=17 February 2012 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
* The British band [[Pitchshifter]], also fans of ''2000 AD'', released a Judge Dredd t-shirt for their final tour. It included the slogan "13 years punk", referring to how long the band had been together before they broke up.
* In the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe, the [[Imperium (Warhammer 40,000)|Imperium's]] police force, the Arbites, (Latin; translates as Judge or judgment) were visually based upon Judge Dredd stemming from the time Games Workshop held the rights to Judge Dredd games. The original designs for the Space Marine power armour and bikes also drew heavily on the Judges' uniform and Lawmaster bikes. In return the original design for the Space Marine jet bike also featured in an episode of Judge Dredd as a Judge antigravity bike. A number of artists who have worked on Judge Dredd have also worked for Games Workshop.
* [[WizKids]] / [[National Entertainment Collectibles Association|NECA]] have released four figures of Judge Dredd as part of their [[HeroClix]] collectable miniatures game (Rookie, Experienced and Veteran and Promotional versions). These were only released in the United Kingdom, alongside other 2000AD related figures, as part of the "Indy" expansion to the game. This led to something of an outcry from the American fans of both the game and the character, and this style of "regional" figure-release was not continued in later sets of HeroClix. The "Promotional" version is not legal in normal gameplay. It has an entirely different blue ringed dial to the standard "Experienced" version, and the word "Promo" on the base.
* The video game ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War]]'' features a purchasable Judge Dredd character skin as part of a limited-time bundle. The skin is for a playable Operator character, Ingo Beck, and designed after Dredd's comic book appearance, featuring a coloured and black-and-white version, as well as weapons themed after Dredd's arsenal.
