Classic Masters is a compilation album from Blind Melon. Classic Masters was released on January 29, 2002.

At the time of its release, Classic Masters drew some ire from the music press, most of whom quickly picked up on the differences between the Classic Masters versions and their complete album counterparts. For example, "Mouthful of Cavities" has the spoken "Listen, man. I got the window open [Do] you hear the cats, man? Listen." intro by frontman Shannon Hoon excised.
