The Best of Loggins & Messina is a yet another compilation album (10th release) by singer/songwriter duo Loggins and Messina, released in late 1980, this time by new label Embassy Records (see 1980 in music).

It consists of 14 of their later recordings and a few of their early hits in what is essentially, once again, a ""(most of our) Greatest Hits"" LP. Ironically, it omits some of their highest charting songs.
