Pianosaurus was a 1980s Rock and Roll band from New York, formed by Alex Garvin, Steve Dansiger, and Bianca Miller. Thier music was played on toy instruments, the name being taken from a child's plastic toy piano in the shape of a dinosaur, with a keyboard running along the right side.

After two self-released live albums, their 'debut' album Groovy Neighborhood was released by Rounder Records in 1987 and featured cover versions of Chuck Berry's Memphis as well as the 1960s hit "The Letter".

In 1989, the song "Back to School" was featured in the movie New York Stories, in Francis Ford Coppola's short Life without Zoe and was released on the soundtrack.

Their second album, titled Back to School, remains unreleased.
