The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions is a compilation album by English musician Elvis Costello and his backing band the Attractions, released in 1985. It was the first of what would be many career-spanning compilation albums of previously released material for Costello.
A UK variation of the album was called The Best of Elvis Costello – The Man and had a markedly different track listing.
