Reagan appeared as one of the fictional supporting characters in the Inhumanoids episode "The Surma Plan" as president of the United States. Upon learning that the Soviet leadership were planning an Earth-threatening attack on the lair of the Inhumanoid leader Metlar, Reagan first suggested that they contact the Soviets.

He later expressed gratitude to the Earth Corps for stopping the Soviet plan. Reagan was portrayed by voice actor Neil Ross.

In the first film of Back to the Future, Reagan is referenced heavily in the first part of the movie, in which 1955 Doc Brown mocks Marty McFly after he answered Reagan was the president, as at 1955, Reagan was still an actor, referenced earlier in the film when his name appeared on a theater on the background

Also, in Back to the Future Part 2, Reagan has his own Max Headroom style AI that speaks in his voice and stutters just like Max, and serves as a waiter in the Cafe 80s who gets interrupted by the AI of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who tries to tell Marty McFly to order the "Hostage Special" instead of the Cajun Style Mesquite Grilled Sushi that Reagan tells McFly about before he tells both of them that all he wants is a Pepsi cola.

Reagan is the subject of many songs.[9]
