Glittering Prize 81/92 is a compilation album by Simple Minds, released in 1992.

It spans the period from Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call (the first album recorded by Simple Minds for Virgin Records) to Real Life.

The album omits the earliest period of Simple Minds` recording career, which yielded three albums released on Arista (only reissues are on Virgin).

At the time of its release, the album was promoted by the double A-side single `Love Song/Alive and Kicking`, where `Love Song` appeared in a remixed form. Both `Love Song` (from 1981) and `Alive and Kicking` (from 1985) appear in their original 7-inch edits on the album.

The namesake video collection, featuring promo videos from the then latest two albums and live versions of the hits was released simultaneously.
