"Retrospectacle - The Supertramp Anthology" is the first comprehensive compilation album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in October 2005.

As Supertramp's first career retrospective, the 2-CD "Retrospectacle" contains a compilation of the most popular songs, live tracks and favourite album tracks from all of their albums "Supertramp", "Indelibly Stamped", "Crime of the Century", "Crisis? What Crisis?", "Even in the Quietest Moments", "Breakfast in America", "Paris", "...Famous Last Words...", "Brother Where You Bound", "Free as a Bird", "Some Things Never Change", "It Was The Best Of Times" and "Slow Motion".

Also, "Retrospectacle" marks the first ever official appearance on a Supertramp album of the long out of print single "Land Ho" and its B-side "Summer Romance" which were the first two songs that Supertramp's classic lineup recorded. These tracks were recorded for the "Crime of the Century" album but were left off and released as a non-album single. The versions of "Land Ho" and "Summer Romance" on "Retrospectacle" are the 1975 re-mixes which the band intended to use on "Crisis? What Crisis?" but left off at the last minute. "Land Ho" would eventually be revived and re-recorded by Roger Hodgson for his 1987 solo album Hai Hai (with new lyrics.)
