Mayor McCheese is the mayor of the fictional McDonaldland, created as an advertising narrative for the McDonald's fast food chain. He has an enormous cheeseburger for a head, and sports a top hat, diplomat's sash and monocle. His Chief of Police is Big Mac.

In 1973, courts sided with Sid and Marty Krofft that McCheese bore too close a resemblance to H.R. Pufnstuf, and that all the other McDonaldland residents were plagiarism as well.
