Classic Yes is the second compilation album by the English rock band Yes, released in November 1981 by Atlantic Records. It was released after the group had disbanded in early 1981 following their 1980 tour in support of their tenth studio album, Drama (1980). The tracks were compiled by bassist Chris Squire and the cover was designed by Roger Dean.
Upon its release, it charted at number 142 on the US Billboard 200. Some pressings included a free live single of previously unreleased live versions of "Roundabout" and "I've Seen All Good People". The album became a strong seller, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over one million copies.
