The Best of Matt Bianco is a compilation album by British band Matt Bianco, released in 1990 by East West Records.

The album was originally slated for 15 October release, but eventually premiered a week later. It consists of the band's greatest hits from their first three studio albums: Whose Side Are You On?, Matt Bianco and Indigo, and the new track and lead single "Fire in the Blood". The second single was "Wap Bam Boogie", originally from Indigo and side B to the single "Don't Blame It on That Girl", which had been a club hit in its own right.
