The Best of Brandy is the first compilation album by American R&B/pop singer Brandy. Completing her contract with Atlantic Records, it was released on April 4, 2005 in most European territories and on April 5 (see 2005 in music) in Australia and North America.

The album comprises nearly all of her singles released between the years of 1994 and 2004, compiling both her albums Brandy (1994), Never Say Never (1998), Full Moon (2002) and Afrodisiac (2004), as well as soundtracks to films such as Waiting to Exhale (1995) and Set It Off (1996). While featuring no new material, the greatest hits disc contains rare track such as a 1995 cover of Michael Jackson's "Rock with You", and an exclusive remix of "The Boy is Mine" with female rapper Shaunta.

The album debuted to number 27 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart in its opening week with about 26,000 copies sold.
