Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies is a compilation album by Pixies. It was released in May 2004 alongside a companion DVD featuring a live show, promotional videos and two documentaries. Early batches of the record feature a fault on the track "Hey", where Black Francis' opening shout of "Hey" is missing.

This CD replaces 1997's compilation Death to the Pixies in 4AD's catalog, which previously served as the label's "greatest hits" collection for the Pixies. While most fans agree that Wave of Mutilation is a more thorough compilation, some prefer the earlier disc, as it is remastered, while the newer compilation is not. (Wave of Mutilation is volume-adjusted though, providing for a slightly more modern sound than 4AD's original Pixies CDs.)
