The Best of Type O Negative is a compilation album by Type O Negative, released on September 12, 2006. It is the greatest hits album containing some good Type O songs released by Roadrunner Records from five of the first six studio albums. The album was released without Type O Negative's involvement (they were signed to SPV Records before this compilation was released).
Songs from the albums The Origin of the Feces and then-new material from The Least Worst Of are not included on the album. Despite being an unsanctioned release, the cover of Deep Purple's Highway Star does not appear on any other Type O Negative release and is exclusive to the compilation - with exception of its previous inclusion on the compilation NASCAR: Crank It Up.
The album was released on September 12, 2006, simultaneously with similarly unsanctioned best-of collections of the bands Sepultura, Fear Factory, and Ill Niño.
