"Once Upon a Long Ago" is a Paul McCartney song, released as his fortieth single on November 1987, as part of his compilation All the Best!, released two weeks before the single. The track was produced by Phil Ramone and mixed by George Martin, and features violin by Nigel Kennedy.

The single reached number ten in the UK Singles Chart,[1] McCartney's last Top 10 in his homeland. The single was not released in the US nor included on the US version of All the Best!, although it did appear on the longer UK/Canada version.
