Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies is a compilation album by the American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released on March 18, 1997, by Space Age Bachelor Pad Records. The album is a collection of swing and jazz-influenced songs from the band's first three studio albums, along with four bonus tracks recorded especially for this compilation.

After an independent release in early 1997, Zoot Suit Riot was reissued by Universal Records subsidiary Mojo Records the following summer. By early 1998, regular radio airplay of the album's lead single "Zoot Suit Riot" helped propel the album to #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and eventually the top 20 of the Billboard 200, contributing to the swing revival of the late 1990s. By January 2000, Zoot Suit Riot had achieved double-platinum status of over two million copies sold in the United States, while also attaining gold record sales in Canada and New Zealand.^[2][3][4]
