The Best of Sophie B. Hawkins is a compilation album released in 2002 collecting songs by American singer Sophie B. Hawkins. It is her first compilation album, and was released 10 years after her first studio album, Tongues and Tails. It contains no songs from what was then her most recent album, Timbre, released in 1999; instead, besides Hawkins' main singles (barring those from Timbre), it contains a variety of tracks from her first two albums that were not issued as singles, ending with an exclusive cover of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", originally by The Band. The album was only released internationally, and not in Hawkins' home country of the United States. An album of the same title, also released as Essential Sophie B. Hawkins, was issued the following year there.
