Fresh as a Daisy – The Singles is a compilation album by Mancunian rock band James issued on Mercury on 30 April 2007.

The album was released in two editions; a single CD containing most of the singles the group recorded for Mercury (Runaground, Jam J and We're Going to Miss You are omitted) and a 2 disc edition listed on the cover sticker as "The Complete Singles Collection 1983 - 2007". This version collects the group's two releases for Factory, their 4 singles for Sire and debut album track Johnny Yen in addition to their Mercury work. However, it is not actually complete as it omits the original 1989 version of "Sit Down" recorded for Rough Trade, the 1998 remix of the same song by Apollo Four Forty and features album versions of Seven and We're Going to Miss You rather than the alternate versions used on the single releases. Both versions feature two new songs, Who Are You and Chameleon. The album charted at number 12 in its week of release.
