Chelsea Dagger is de tweede single van de Schotse band The Fratellis, die op 28 augustus 2006 werd uitgebracht.

Het komt van hun debuutalbum Costello Music, dat in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 11 september werd uitgebracht.

Opvallend is dat het nummer pas een half jaar na de release een hit wordt. Dit is omdat het de anthem wordt van 3FM's Serious Request-week. Ook belandt het nummer in de Top 40.

"Chelsea Dagger" is a song by Scottish rock band the Fratellis. It was released as the second single from their debut studio album, Costello Music (2006), on 28 August 2006. It is named after Jon Fratelli's wife Heather, a burlesque dancer whose stage name is a play on Britney Spears. Fratelli described the tune as "a rock 'n' roll gig in an old speakeasy or something like that."

This song was number 77 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. "Chelsea Dagger" has become notable for its usage in sports. It has also been featured in adverts for Amstel Light and KitKat, the films Run Fatboy Run and Pitch Perfect, a trailer to Shrek the Third, a TV spot for Open Season, an episode of The Inbetweeners, as well as the video games Burnout Dominator and Guitar Hero: On Tour Modern Hits. The song peaked at number 2 on the Scottish Singles Chart and number 5 on the UK Singles Chart and was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry in 2024.
