The Kink Kronikles is a USA compilation double album of singles, B-sides, album tracks and previously unreleased tracks recorded by The Kinks between 1966 and 1970. In 2003, the album was ranked number 231 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It was compiled and released by Reprise Records (without creative input from the Kinks) after the band had moved to RCA Records in 1971. The album remains a highly popular and representative collection of songs from the band's most creative period.

• Note: In John Mendelssohn's 1972 liner notes for The Kink Kronikles, Holiday in Waikiki is credited as being the first track of the album, Face to Face. This mistake may arise from (at least) one re-release of Face to Face in which side two of the original record is accidentally placed at the beginning of the album, followed by side one. On the original album, Holiday in Waikiki is the eighth track; Party Line is the first track.
