The Best of Waylon is a compilation album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Nashville in 1986, following the singer's departure from the label. It consists primarily of material from Jennings' last years at RCA, including "Lucille (You Won't Do Your Daddy's Will)" and "Never Could Toe the Mark". The Best of Waylon failed to chart and was Jennings' final release on RCA.

The album contains one excellent previously unreleased song, "I Don't Have Anymore Love Songs", which is a Hank Williams Jr. cover from his 1979 album, Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (and was also covered by Merle Haggard on his 1980 album, Back to the Barrooms.
