"The Best of the Everly Brothers" is the first compilation album by the rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers, released in 1959. It was released by their first record company, Cadence Records, and includes all their earliest hits on that label.

All the songs can subsequently be found on numerous re-issue compilations although Allmusic states in their review "this original Cadence compilation still holds up nicely after almost half-a-century."
