Come Dancing With the Kinks: The Best of the Kinks 1977-1986 is a compilation album by the English rock band The Kinks. It was originally released in 1986 on both LP and CD but with different track listings for each format; a third track listing was created when the album was reissued on CD in 2000 by Koch Records. Come Dancing covers the nine-year period during which the Kinks were signed to Arista, and includes some live versions of hits from the band's Pye and RCA years.
