''Best of Bowie'' (2002) is the most recent career spanning Greatest Hits album by multi-platinum recording artist David Bowie . It features songs from his debut until 2002. It was released on the 35th anniversary of his first album, ''David Bowie'' .

In each of the 21 territories that the album was released, it was given its own track listing, based upon which songs were most popular locally. In a number of countries, there were two versions - a single disc version, and a double disc version. All in all 63 tracks appear in at least one of the 20 different versions. The country the edition came from can be identified by a small national flag on the spine, except for the Argentinean/Mexican, Eastern European and UK editions, which are "flag-less".

All the tracks are digitally remastered, either from 1999, or for the single edits, from 2002, with the exception of "Under Pressure", which is also at a lower volume than the rest of the disc.

A DVD version of the compilation was also released, containing 47 Videos and live performances as well as alternate versions as Easter Eggs .
