The Best of 1980–1990 is the first greatest hits compilation by Irish rock band U2, released on 2 November 1998. It mostly contains the group`s hit singles from the 1980s, but also mixes in some live staples, as well as a re-recording of the 1987 B-side `Sweetest Thing`. In April 1999, a companion video (featuring music videos and live footage) was released. The album was followed by another compilation, The Best of 1990–2000, in 2002.

A limited-edition version of the album that included a second disc of B-sides was released a week earlier than the standard single-disc version. At the time of release, the official word was that the two-disc album would be available the first week the album went on sale, then pulled from stores. While this edict never materialized, it did result in the two-disc version being in very high demand. Both versions charted in the Billboard 200, with the two-disc version debuting at number two and setting a new first-week sales record in the United States for a greatest hits album by a group, with 237,500 copies sold.

The boy on the album`s cover is Peter Rowen, brother of Bono`s friend Guggi (real name Derek Rowen) of the Virgin Prunes. Peter also appears on the covers of U2`s early EP Three, two of their first three albums (Boy and War), and Early Demos.

All music is composed by U2, with lyrics by Bono.
