Strictly Commercial is a compilation album by Frank Zappa. It was released in 1995 (see 1995 in music), two years after his death. The disc is currently out of print and has been replaced in Zappa's catalog by the 2016 compilation album ZAPPAtite.

All songs written and performed by Frank Zappa, except where noted.

The title of the album is taken from a lyric in "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" and maintains Zappa's conceptual continuity.

On the European CD, "Tell Me You Love Me" was replaced by "Bobby Brown Goes Down," which was Zappa's biggest hit in Europe, but extremely controversial in the United States, and never aired on the radio. A version released in Australia and New Zealand was identical to the U.S. CD, but included the track "Elvis Has Just Left the Building" on a separate disc.
