The Shirley Bassey Collection is a double compilation album released in 1972 by British singer Shirley Bassey. The album charted at #37 in the UK charts in January 1972.

Shirley Bassey enjoyed a successful comeback in the early 1970s, having achieved five hit singles in the first two years of the decade, plus two Top ten albums, Something and Something Else. This led to several re-issues of her earlier backcatalogue, these included several compilation albums and complete albums, they were mainly released on the EMI Music For Pleasure (MFP) label. The double album set includes both the album This is My Life originally released in 1968 and Does Anybody Miss Me from 1969. This two vinyl record set was re-released on by EMI on a 2-CD set in 1993, complete with alternative artwork and further expanded to include The Shirley Bassey Collection II, a second double album set from 1975, featuring tracks recorded in the period 1966 to 1969. Most notably this compilation included several previously unreleased recordings and recordings previously only available in the US.
