Upsy Daisy Assortment is a U.S.-exclusive compilation by XTC, released after Geffen Records declined to distribute the 1996 double-disc Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977-1992.

It is perhaps their first compilation to be considered a Best of as it includes album tracks "Funk Pop a Roll", "Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her, Kiss Her", "Earn Enough for Us" and "Chalkhills and Children" in addition to their better-known singles.

The cover art is a reproduction of a vintage 1945 travel poster called "Holidays in Switzerland" by Donald Brun.
