Van Morrison at the Movies – Soundtrack Hits is a compilation album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 2007 (see 2007 in music) comprising 19 songs as featured in various movies. The album was released on 12 February 2007 in the United Kingdom and 13 February 2007 in the United States. On the U.S. Billboard 200, the album debuted at #35, selling about 29,000 copies in its first week, as of July 2007 it had sold 162,010 copies in the US. The album also debuted at #17 on the UK Top 75 Album Charts.

All of the songs on the album had been previously released by Morrison, and most were recorded by him before being used in a movie. Two date back to his group Them, before he began to record as a solo artist. Two of the recordings, however, were previously unreleased, including a version of "Brown Eyed Girl" recorded specifically for the collection. The version of the album available for download on iTunes contains the song "These Are the Days". This song was used in the motion picture "Nine Months" and was originally released on Morrison's 1989 album Avalon Sunset.
