Liocracy was a Canadian television comedy series produced by Creative Atlantic Communications Ltd. airing on The Comedy Network in 2001 and 2002.

The first episode centred on Fiendly Giant, a Friendly Giant-like children's television host with a penchant for sadomasochism who
the show was created by Ian Johnston and Peter Hays, two former journalists for the "Halifax Daily News".
The show was titled "Liography" in its first season, but was changed to "Liocracy" in the second season after the A&E Network, the producers of the original "Biography" series, threatened a copyright infringement lawsuit. The second season premiered in November 2002, and ran for 13 episodes into early 2003. The series was not renewed for a third season.
