The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) is the 12th album by Bill Cosby.
It is his first compilation album containing favorites from his tenure with Warner Bros. Records, which had just been completed earlier that year. The liner notes were by David Ossman of the comedy group The Firesign Theatre.
Some of the track titles on this album differ from those on the albums from which they were taken. Where applicable, the original titles are shown in parentheses.
"The Lone Ranger", as presented on this album, is a truncated version of the original recording.
The album's original LP release placed tracks 1–6 on Side One, and tracks 7–12 on Side Two. The cassette tape release of the album reverses Sides One and Two of the LP, in order to sequence the longer side first.
In 1967, an album of the same title was released in England by Warner Brothers (K46002,) but with a different track listing and different cover art (it used the same photo as the cover of Wonderfulness for its front cover, and the photo and liner notes of Why Is There Air? for its back cover).
