The Daffodil Affair is a 1942 mystery thriller novel by the British writer Michael Innes. It is the eighth in his series featuring John Appleby, a young Detective Inspector in the Metropolitan Police. It takes place during the early years of the Second World War. Like many entries in the series it contains elements of farcical and surrealist humour, and does not follow the standard pattern of the Golden Age detective novel. Like the previous entry in the series Appleby on Ararat it is noted for its exotic setting. In the Times Literary Supplement reviewer Maurice Willson Disher described it as "an incoherent sandwich: alternate slabs of instruction and entertainment".
