The Pious Bird of Good Omen is a compilation album by Fleetwood Mac, released in 1969 (see 1969 in music). It consisted of the first four UK singles and their B-sides, two tracks from the second album Mr. Wonderful, and two tracks by Blues artist Eddie Boyd with backing by members of Fleetwood Mac. These two tracks came from Boyd's album 7936 South Rhodes.

The US-only compilation English Rose was a similar package with a different track listing.

In 2002, the tracks from this album were repackaged by Sony BMG and released as a new collection very closely resembling the 1971 Greatest Hits album, but with the addition of "Shake Your Moneymaker" and "Love That Burns".
