By Request is the first greatest hits album released by Irish boy band Boyzone. It has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

The album contains all of the band's singles release since the start of their career in 1994, with the exception of the Irish-only single "Working My Way Back to You", the Japanese only-single "Believe in Me", the American-only single "Mystical Experience", which appears as a bonus track on the Australian release, "Te Garder Pres De Moi", which appears as a bonus track on the French release, and "Everyday I Love You", which despite being an international release, only appears on the Asian release of the album, and was released as a single from The Singles Collection: 1994-1999 in the United Kingdom. The album also Ronan Keating's first solo outing, "When You Say Nothing at All", plus three tracks only ever previously issued in the United States, on the American version of Where We Belong.

The album was released on 31 May 1999 via Universal, and was preceded by the album's lead single, "When the Going Gets Tough", released on 1 March 1999 as the official Comic Relief single for that year. The album was the second best selling album of the year in Britain, and was certified as 6x Platinum, and has sold more than four million copies to date. As of December 2014, it has sold 1,814,966 copies in the UK.
