The Very Best of Bananarama is one of several greatest hits collections by English girl group Bananarama.

Released by Warner Music Group, parent company of Bananarama's label London Records, this set is the "official" hits package released to celebrate the group's twentieth anniversary. Hits included here span their history from 1981 to 1993 and it is the only Bananarama release to feature all four members on its cover (Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, Jacquie O'Sullivan and Keren Woodward).

No new songs were recorded for the album, although a new medley, called 'Tempus Fugit Megamix' and containing Venus, I Heard A Rumour and Love In The First Degree, which is very influenced by Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was added as the last track.

A limited edition of The Very Best of Bananarama, released in 2002, contained a second disc of remixes and replaced the Tempus Fugit megamix for the Miami mix of I Heard A Rumour.
