Äntligen – Marie Fredrikssons bästa 1984–2000 (English: Finally – Marie Fredriksson's Best) is the first greatest hits compilation album by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson, released on 31 March 2000 by EMI. It was compiled by Fredriksson, and contains the majority of her singles, as well as several of her favourite album tracks. It was a commercial success upon release in her native country, spending eight weeks at number 1 on the Sverigetopplistan chart, and eventually being certified triple platinum by the Swedish Recording Industry Association for shipments of almost a quarter of a million units.

The album contains every single released by Fredriksson since her 1984 debut album, Het vind, with the exception of three: Het vind's title track, "Silver i din hand" from 1985's Den sjunde vågen, and the limited edition single "Ber bara en gång" from 1996's I en tid som vår. Also excluded is her collaboration with former ABBA vocalist Anni-Frid Lyngstad, "Alla mina bästa år", which was taken from Frida's album Djupa andetag (1996) and released as a single in 1997.

The record contains two previously unreleased recordings, both of which were released as singles. "Äntligen" was issued as the lead single, and became a top forty hit in Sweden. A remixed version of the song, re-titled "Solen gick ner över stan", was also included on the album. The remaining song, "Det som var nu" – a duet with singer-songwriter Patrik Isaksson – was released in Sweden as the second single, where it peaked at number 59. The latter is a Swedish re-recording of a track originally demoed in the late 90's for Roxette's 1999 album Have a Nice Day. The original English demo of the track, titled "Always the Last to Know", subsequently leaked onto the internet in 2002 when a former member of EMI staff sold a bootleg CD at a Dutch record fair.
