Nor the Dahlias: The Dears 1995-1998 is an album by The Dears, released in 2001. The album is a compilation of early tracks by the band preceding their debut release, End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story.

The tracks are strongly reminiscent of singer and songwriter Murray Lightburn's musical influences, including The Smiths and Blur, and do not display the distinctive style of the band's later albums.
