Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Vol. 1 is a compilation album of former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters' solo material, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). It has since been deleted from his catalogue^{[citation needed]}. It had never been released in North America.

It was released in many countries on a copy protected optical disc, thereby failing to comply with the CD standard and not entitled to use the CD logo. Such editions bore the legend "will not play on PC/MAC". In other countries (including Argentina), the album was released on a true CD. The disk bore the CD logo, and the cover art did not have the warning indicating that it could not be played on a computer.
