In this work, we propose a new operational method based on a Genocchi wavelet-like basis to obtain the numerical solutions of non-linear fractional order differential equations (NFDEs). To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a Genocchi wavelet-like basis is presented. The Genocchi wavelet-like operational matrix of a fractional derivative is derived through waveletpolynomial transformation. These operational matrices are used together with the collocation method to turn the NFDEs into a system of non-linear algebraic equations. Error estimates are shown and some illustrative examples are given in order to demonstrate the accuracy and simplicity of the proposed technique.
