Time Flies... 1994–2009 is a compilation album by English rock band Oasis. Released on 14 June 2010 by Big Brother Recordings, the album contains all 27 UK singles released by the band between 1994 and 2009, including "Whatever" and "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", which had previously never appeared on an Oasis studio album. "Sunday Morning Call" is not listed anywhere on the artwork but appears as a hidden track on track 14 of the second disc.
Five different versions of the album were released, the two-disc CD version, DVD, the deluxe box set, five-LP box set and the iTunes deluxe edition. A box set featuring postcards of the sleeves of every UK Oasis single was released concurrently with the album.
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of Time Flies... 1994–2009, a special reissue was announced on Instagram in June 2025. This edition features newly remastered audio and is available as a quadruple vinyl deluxe box set and a 2-CD version. It includes all the original singles from the 2010 release, with enhanced sound quality.
In Japan, Time Flies entered the charts at number 2, with first-week sales of 59,348 copies;[http://ameblo.jp/chartnidokkan/entry-10564030077.html TOP10 Weekly album chart dated 21 June] {{in lang|ja}} while in the United Kingdom, it entered the charts at number 1, with first-week sales of 101,297.
