{{main|Eureka Rebellion in popular culture}}

The Eureka Rebellion has been the inspiration for numerous novels, poems, films, songs, plays and artworks. Much of the Eureka folklore relies heavily on Raffaello Carboni's 1855 book, [[The Eureka Stockade (1855 novel)|''The Eureka Stockade'']], which was the first and only comprehensive eyewitness account of the rebellion. Henry Lawson wrote a number of poems about Eureka, as have many novelists. There have been four motion pictures based on the uprising at Ballarat. The first was ''[[Eureka Stockade (1907 film)|Eureka Stockade]]'', a 1907 silent film, the second feature film produced in Australia.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eureka Stockade (1907) |publisher=[[National Film and Sound Archive]] |url=http://colsearch.nfsa.afc.gov.au/nfsa/search/summary/summary.w3p;adv=yes;group=;groupequals=;page=0;parentid=;query=Eureka%20Stockade%20Media%3A%22FILM%20%22%20%7C%20Media%3A%22TELEVISION%22;querytype=;resCount=10 |access-date=28 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106185246/http://colsearch.nfsa.afc.gov.au/nfsa/search/summary/summary.w3p;adv=yes;group=;groupequals=;page=0;parentid=;query=Eureka%20Stockade%20Media%3A%22FILM%20%22%20%7C%20Media%3A%22TELEVISION%22;querytype=;resCount=10 |archive-date=6 November 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

There have been a number of plays and songs about the rebellion. The folk song ''German Teddy'' concerns [[Edward Thonen]], one of the rebels who dies defending the Eureka Stockade.<ref>{{Cite web
