The Best of Baccara is a compilation album by Spanish duo Baccara released by Sony-BMG UK's midprice sublabel Camden in 2005. This release includes sixteen of Baccara's hits and best-known songs from the era of the original formation (1977–1981), mainly focussing on their best-selling debut album Baccara, and finishing with two recent re-recordings dating from 1999 album Baccara 2000, by Mayte Mateos' formation of the duo.
