Yesstory is a double CD and triple LP career-spanning distillation of music by progressive rock band Yes that had originally appeared on the 1991 box set Yesyears. Yesstory was issued in 1992 lacking the rarity material that had characterized its parent release.

Yesstory is still available, although Yesyears has since been deleted due to the appearance of the 2002 Rhino Records box set In a Word: Yes (1969 - ).
