The Best of Carly Simon is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's first greatest-hits album, released in 1975. Covering the first five years of her career, 1971 to 1975, the compilation includes eight top twenty hit singles from her first five albums, as well as two album cuts from No Secrets (1972), "Night Owl" and "We Have No Secrets", the latter of which was released as the B-side to the single "The Right Thing to Do".

For many years, this was Simon's only greatest hits collection, and, as a result, it became her bestselling album. In the late 1990s, sales in the United States alone stood at over three million copies.
