The Best of Rainbow is a compilation album from British hard rock group Rainbow, released in 1981.
It was the first official compilation and featured only previously-released studio cuts, taken from the five studio LPs released at that point. However, "Jealous Lover", the first song written by Blackmore and Turner, had been available only as a B-side in Europe (to "Can't Happen Here") and on the Jealous Lover EP in the USA. The original vinyl-release was a 2LP set, in a gatefold-sleeve.
