Supergrass Is 10 is a compilation album celebrating the first 10 years of the band Supergrass. It includes singles from their first release, "Caught by the Fuzz" (1994), to their then latest release, "Kiss of Life" (2004).

The compilation was released on CD, DVD and double 10" clear vinyl record. The DVD release contains two discs. The first disc is a documentary of the band's first 10 years. The second disc contains videos of all of the singles (with the exception of "Cheapskate") with the option of director's commentary and karaoke lyrics. ^[8] The song compilation managed to reach No. 4 in the UK charts. ^[9]

In the US, the CD version came with a bonus live CD featuring 12 live and acoustic songs.

John Cornfield recorded and mixed the two new tracks featured on the album at Sphere Studios. ^[10]

The Guardian newspaper said of the DVD compilation, "Once you've sat through the in-depth, career-spanning documentary on disc one, it's hard to come to any conclusion other than being Supergrass is probably the most joyful job in the world." ^[11]
