Nothing but the Best is a 2008 compilation album by American singer Frank Sinatra. All the tracks on this album are recordings made when Sinatra was on his own Reprise label, thus the first track, "Come Fly with Me" is not the 1957 Capitol version. Other notable differences are "Strangers in the Night" has an extended fade out and the first cymbal hit is cut from the beginning of the "Theme from New York, New York".

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 9, 2008.[1] It has been present on the Billboard Top 200 for 135 weeks as of August 16, 2012.[2] The album was produced by Charles Pignone, with Robert Finkelstein and Jimmy Edwards serving as executive producers.

This album is presented in 3 versions: standard edition (22 tracks), Christmas edition (22 tracks + 12 Christmas songs) and a DVD edition (22 tracks + 1 DVD concert of the artist, in addition this album is packaged in digipack format).
