The Best of The Moody Blues is a compilation album by the British progressive rock band The Moody Blues, released on 23 September 1996.

The album marked the first time the band's only UK No. 1 single, 1964's "Go Now", was included on an official Moody Blues compilation album.

The album was re-released in both the UK and US on 28 January 1997, only just over four months after its original release, with new artwork. In the UK this re-release also carried a slightly different title, The Very Best of The Moody Blues, though the original title was kept in the US.
