"Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits" is the second greatest hits compilation by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on October 19, 1998, by Mercury Records internationally and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album was released as both a single CD and a limited edition double CD, with the second CD containing live recordings from Mark Knopfler's first solo tour in 1996. A DVD of the same name was also released, featuring music videos for all the songs on the single CD version, along with short interviews with Knopfler discussing each song. The album is named after the band's 1978 hit single of the same name. In 2002, a limited edition box set, which included the two CDs and the DVD, was released as part of Universal's "Sight and Sound" series.
