- Word of God from the designers of Warhammer 40,000 have stated that the character of Cypher, a gunfighter with two pistols and a long robe over his armour, who rarely speaks but somehow manages to foment animosity and discord amongst anyone he comes into contact with (even allies), and is mysteriously protected from harm by a supernatural force was a homage to The Stranger from High Plains Drifter. The fact that he's a Mysterious Stranger with an unknown agenda, who may be the physical form of any one of several vengeful spirits (or none at all) pushes it into outright expy territory.
- The first book of Merkabah Rider is titled "High Planes Drifter".
- High Plains Drifter is the username of the author of Sean Bean Saves Westeros.
- Cad Bane's introduction in The Book of Boba Fett as a silhouette in the distance mirrors the introduction of Eastwood's character in the film.
- The Punisher (2017). In "Trouble the Water" while watching Frank Castle gun down the mercenaries besieging the police station, Deputy Dobbs brings up "that old Western where a stranger comes to town and he's Death or the Devil or something."
