Come Sail Away - The Styx Anthology is a musical album released on May 4, 2004 by Styx. It is a compilation consisting of two compact discs, and it contains a thorough history of the band in the front cover. The album encompasses many of the band's most popular and significant songs, ranging from the band's first single, "Best Thing" through the song "One with Everything", a track included on Styx's most recent album at that time, Cyclorama.

Of note, the compilation omits "Don't Let It End", a top 10 single off the 1983 "Kilroy Was Here" album.

In 2006, it was re-released as part of the 2-CD Gold series.
