The Best of Strange Cargos is a compilation album by electronic instrumentalist William Orbit. In it, selected tracks from the first three of Orbit's four-album Strange Cargo series are included. All recordings in the compilation — including a 1993 remix of 1992's "Water From A Vine Leaf" — preceded the 1995 album release of Strange Cargo Hinterland. Three other tracks are also remixes, versions which were not released on initial Strange Cargo series albums.
