I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston is a posthumous greatest hits album by American recording artist Whitney Houston. The album was released on November 13, 2012 via RCA Records.

The album spans most of Houston's entire career and includes 29 of Houston's biggest chart hits from five of her seven studio albums and all of her soundtracks, including The Bodyguard and The Preacher's Wife. It includes all of the singer's eleven number one Billboard Hot 100 singles and 21 of her 23 top ten singles spanning from 1985 to 2000. The original issue of the album included two new tracks, a duet version of "I Look to You" with singer R. Kelly and the Jermaine Dupri-produced "Never Give Up".

It was re-released in August 2021 and included Houston's first posthumous hit, "Higher Love". The duet version of "I Look to You" with R. Kelly was replaced with the original 2009 solo version on this reissue.

It is currently the longest charting female compilation of all time on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Albums.[3]

The album won the NAACP Image Award for outstanding album in 2013.
