The Best of Dolly Parton (Vol. 2) was a 1975 compilation album of Dolly Parton's early '70s work that has long been regarded by critics as the definitive representation of Parton's most influential period. The album reached # 5 on the U.S. country albums chart, and contained the title tracks to the previous five Parton albums, as well as the tracks "I Will Always Love You" and "Travelin' Man".

The original album was a gatefold design with an additional photo of Parton and the printed song lyrics in the inner section. For unknown reasons, when the album was reisued on CD in the 1990s, the inner gatefold photo was used on the outer cover, rather than the cover photo of the original album release.
