Once Upon A Time is the fourth studio album by Liverpool Express, released in August 2003.

Notable tracks from this album are the title song, "Once Upon A Time", which harks back to the group's hit "Every Man Must Have A Dream", and "Sailin' Down to Rio", the band's ode to Rio de Janeiro, a city they fell in love with during their tour of Brazil in the late 1970s.

A new version of "John George Ringo & Paul" was included on this album. The song was first heard on The Best of Liverpool Express the year before.

Ian Bairnson, the guitarist with The Alan Parsons Project and Pilot, plays on two tracks, "Once Upon a Time" and "Find My Way Back Home".
