The Very Best of Rufus featuring Chaka Khan is a greatest hits album by funk band Rufus (billed as 'Rufus featuring Chaka Khan'), originally released on the MCA Records label in 1982. The collection comprises ten of the group's biggest hits on the ABC/MCA labels, including "You Got the Love," "Sweet Thing". "At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)", "Do You Love What You Feel", "Tell Me Something Good", "Stay", "Hollywood" and "Dance Wit Me". "The Very Best of..." was released in late 1982, prior to the recording of the band's two final albums, both for the Warner Bros. Records label, and does consequently not include their hits "Ain't Nobody" and "One Million Kisses", both from the 1983 double-set "Stompin' at the Savoy - Live".

The ten track "Very Best of Rufus featuring Chaka Khan" was re-released on CD by MCA/Geffen Records in the mid 1990's in both the US and Europe and is to date the only career retrospective available with the band.

Rufus and Chaka Khan's ABC/MCA back catalogue (1973-1982) is as of 2003 distributed by the Universal Music Group.
