Melvinmania: The Best Of The Atlantic Years 1993-1996 is an album by the Melvins, which was released in 2003 through Atlantic Records (UK). Tracks 1-5 are taken from the 1993 Houdini album. Tracks 6-10 are taken from the 1994 Stoner Witch album. Tracks 11-15 are taken from the 1996 Stag album. Lorax does not appear on any of the bands music video clips.

The liner notes are at times incorrect, for example: "... their old pal Cobain produced (...) and played drums on a number of the tracks ..." Cobain only played additional percussion on "Spread Eagle Beagle" (Houdini). That song is nothing but slow percussion. This album was not sanctioned by the band.
