The Best of The Doors is a compilation album by The Doors released in 1973. It was the second compilation album (the first being 1970's 13) to be released by the group after the death of the lead singer Jim Morrison.

The songs on this album were re-mixed for 4 channel Quadraphonic sound and the album was originally released on LP in the CD-4 Quadradisc format. It was also released on the quadraphonic 8-Track tape and Reel-to-reel tape formats. In 1980 the LP was reissued in a 2 channel stereo version through the Columbia House record club.

In 2015 Audio Fidelity released the original quadraphonic mix of The Best of the Doors in Hybrid SACD format.[1] This version also contains the same content in stereo.

In 2017, the quad mix was released on Blu-Ray Audio, in the triple disc edition of the compilation The Singles.[2]
