"Strictly Commercial" is a compilation album by Frank Zappa. It was released in 1995 (see 1995 in music), 2 years after his death. "Strictly Commercial" was issued in a limited edition double vinyl release, and CDs, with three different track listings in versions released in America, Europe, and Japan.

In 2004, the compilation's track listing was shortened and released as "The Best of Frank Zappa" in Europe.

The compilation was ranked number 64 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time. [http://chud.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93854]
