The Very Best of Bananarama is a greatest hits album by English group Bananarama, released on 15 October 2001 by Warner Strategic Marketing and London Records. It was released to celebrate the group's 20th anniversary, including their singles released from 1981 to 1993. The album reached number 43 on the UK Albums Chart.
This compilation features the single versions of the songs. Various tracks had been edited or remixed from their original album versions for their releases as singles and in the case of "I Want You Back" and "Nathan Jones", the vocals were re-recorded after original member Siobhan Fahey had left the group and been replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan.
A limited 'Collector's Edition' of The Very Best of Bananarama released in 2002, containing a second disc of remixes. This special edition of the compilation also replaced "Tempus Fugit Megamix" with the 'Miami Mix' of "I Heard a Rumour".
