Anthology: Set the World Afire is the third greatest hits album by Megadeth. It was released on September 30, 2008, through Capitol Records. It is a two-disc set with additional songs not offered in previous compilations including demos, live performances and unreleased tracks. The album's name refers to the second song of the band's third studio album, So Far, So Good... So What!.

The album was apparently supposed to include the track "Sleepwalker" from the previous year's release, United Abominations, but this was replaced by "Foreclosure of a Dream" from Countdown to Extinction instead, resulting in that track being the exception on the otherwise chronological track listing of the album. There are also a number of mistakes in the credits of the release including track listings, previous releases and lineup of then-current and previous members stating guitarist Glen Drover as a current member at the time of release as Chris Broderick had already joined the band replacing the former earlier in the year prior to the actual release of the album.

Anthology: Set the World Afire sold about 2600 copies in the U.S. in its first week.
