"Mood for a Day" is an instrumental piece by English progressive rock band Yes. It is a classical guitar solo piece written and performed by guitarist Steve Howe. It is featured on the band's fourth studio album, Fragile (1971).

A live version appears on the album Yessongs. An early version can be found on studio version of Clap in 2003 reissue of The Yes Album.

Steve Howe considers the writing of the piece a turning point in its incorporation of classical/Spanish influenced flamenco music. His contribution to Queen's song "Innuendo" is an example of this.

Recently, the Steve Howe Trio created a new arrangement for the song, with electric guitar and lasting almost six minutes. This arrangement is in their 2008 album, The Haunted Melody.
