Up on the Sun is the third studio album by American rock band Meat Puppets, released on March 21, 1985, by SST Records. Rykodisc re-issued the album in 1999.

The album features cleaner mixing, more technical guitar and bass riffs, and the style overall is oriented toward psychedelic rock, in contrast to the sloppy punk approach of their debut album, while continuing with the mystical, poetic lyrics and country-inflected songwriting of Meat Puppets II (1984).

Up on the Sun is considered by listeners and fans as one of the best Meat Puppets albums.
