Chuck Berry's Golden Decade is a three volume compilation of music by American rock musician Chuck Berry released by individual volumes in 1967, 1973 and 1974. Covering the decade spanning 1955 and 1964, each volume was comprised of a two-LP set of 24 Chuck Berry songs. The first volume reached #72 on Billboard's "Pop Albums" chart. The second volume peaked at #110. The third volume, which included only two hit singles among its tracks, did not chart. Music journalist

The first two volumes were critically well received. In 1967, Rolling Stone noted that Chuck Berry's Golden Decade was "the album you must get" if "looking for the Chuck Berry standards".^[1] In 1980, music journalist Robert Christgau included the first and second volumes in his list of essential albums for "A Basic Record Library: The Fifties and Sixties".^[2]

All three volumes are out of print.
