"Wonderland" is a single by XTC released in June 1983, written by Colin Moulding and taken from the album Mummer.
Although they had shifted in a more acoustic direction on their previous album English Settlement, it was with "Wonderland" that their sound could first be described as pastoral, which became their hallmark for the next several years.
This was the only single issued in the U.S. by Geffen Records from the album.
The promotional music video was directed by Peter Sinclair[disambiguation needed

This is one of the few songs from the Mummer sessions to feature drummer Terry Chambers prior to his sudden departure from XTC.
Leader Andy Partridge has subsequently described "Wonderland" as one of Moulding's "most beautiful melodies".
