Well Respected Kinks is a compilation album by the English rock band the Kinks. It was released on 2 September 1966 in the United Kingdom on Pye Records's Marble Arch label.[3] The album consists of previously issued singles and EP tracks recorded in 1964 and 1965.[4] It was issued in both mono and simulated stereo formats.[3]

The Kinks' most recent single "Sunny Afternoon" topped the British charts in mid-1966, but contractual issues delayed the August release of their next album Face to Face; Pye assembled the compilation in order to maintain the band's popularity before Face to Face could be released in late October.[5] Well Respected Kinks spent 31 weeks on the British Record Retailer magazine chart, peaking at number 5.[6] It also reached number 2 in Finland.[7]
