"Soul Caddy" is the fourth studio album by the American band Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 2000.

Following the success of their single "Zoot Suit Riot", the Daddies' next album returned to their standard multi-genre routine. Leading with the Tony Visconti-produced glam rock single "Diamond Light Boogie", "Soul Caddy" delves into neo-swing, ska, Mod rock, hard rock, funk rock, heavy metal, and a jazz ballad.

"Soul Caddy" is a concept album, it's lyrical themes dealing with loneliness, isolation, mortality, the yearning for the innocence of the twentieth century and the seemingly impossible search for love in a cold, technologically-run society.

Though "Soul Caddy" was a critical success in part to its attempts at being multi-genre, it was a commercial flop for the same reason. The Daddies' mainstream exposure caused the world to believe they were a swing-only band, when in reality, swing was just one of the many genres they did. Hence, rock and ska fans did not take notice of its release, and the swing community (their biggest non-local fanbase) rejected the album.

The album was originally entitled "Soul Cadillac". The title went as far as to be seen in a few promotional ads, but was ultimately shortened to "Soul Caddy" due to protest by General Motors.
