The Autobiography of Supertramp is the first compilation album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1986.
The collection features the most popular songs from the albums Crime of the Century, Even in the Quietest Moments, Breakfast in America, ...Famous Last Words..., and Brother Where You Bound. The CD version adds three tracks, including a song from Crisis? What Crisis?.
The cover art shows a suit-wearing, faceless man seated in a train carriage reading a book with his own face on the cover. The view from the train window shows the platform with stylised versions of the cover art from three of Supertramp's albums.
The album was also released in the US as Classics, Volume 9, part of A&M's 25th Anniversary series (1987).
The album was re-released as The Very Best of Supertramp in 1990 with "School" from Crime of the Century added as the first track.
