Then and Now... the Best of The Monkees was a 1986 compilation album of songs by The Monkees, released by Arista Records.

With the 1986 revival of Monkeemania, Arista Records issued a new Monkees best-ofs collection, including three new recordings featuring Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. (Davy Jones, although touring with the reassembled Monkees, wasn't interested in lending his voice to this project, and pointedly left the stage when the new songs were performed.)

A single, "That Was Then, This Is Now", charted at #20 in the US during that year, but its followup, a remix of "Daydream Believer", failed to connect with listeners. "Kicks" was a remake of the original Paul Revere and the Raiders hit.
