Best of Volume I is the first compilation of studio tracks by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1996.

In addition to material from the band's first ten studio albums (minus Diver Down), Best of Volume I also features the band's contribution to the Twister soundtrack ("Humans Being") and two newly recorded songs with original vocalist David Lee Roth ("Can't Get this Stuff No More" and "Me Wise Magic").

Initial pressings of the album contained an alternate version of "Runnin' With the Devil" where the verses, chorus and solos were arranged in a different order than that of the original album version. It was reported that this was accidental and subsequent pressing have replaced this version with the one found on Van Halen.
