"Argybargy" is a 1980 album by the British New Wave group Squeeze. It represented a leap from "Cool for Cats" in its emphasis less on English lad-ship and more on musical quality.

The track listing below is from the original UK LP release. On the American release, the song order was changed slightly, with "If I Didn't Love You" moved up to the first track of the second side, but the order otherwise remaining the same.

In 1997, the CD was released in the UK with two bonus tracks, as part of the "Six of One..." box set. The set included the band's first six studio albums, each digitally remastered. These CDs were made available for individual purchase in 1998.
