I Hate Fairyland is a black comedy fantasy comic written and illustrated by Skottie Young, and published by Image Comics, which started publication in October 2015. The comic follows Gertrude "Gert", a woman who was transported to a mystical world called Fairyland as a child. Twenty-seven years later, Gert is now an un-aging, violent misanthrope who, alongside her reluctant guide and friend Larry, constantly tries and fails to return to Earth, across the storylines Madly Ever After, Fluff My Life, Good Girl, I Hate Image, Sadly Never After, Fluff This World, Gert's Inferno, Last Gert Standing, In the Mean Time, and Happy End Game.

While the comic went on hiatus after the release of Issue #20 in July 2018, a revival series written by Young and illustrated by Brett Bean began in November 2022, still under the name I Hate Fairyland but starting with a new #1 issue. The series focuses on Gertrude, now an adult going back to Fairyland under William Wiggans orders to turn it into an amusement park before turning its focus back to the original Gert. A spin-off anthology series, The Unbelievable Unfortunately Mostly Unreadable and Nearly Unpublishable Untold Tales of I Hate Fairyland!, with stories written and illustrated by an alternating lineup of creators, has also been published since 2021.
