The Best of Julie Andrews (released in the US as The World of Julie Andrews) is a compilation album released in 1972 (1973 in US) by English actress and singer Julie Andrews, on CBS label. The album brings together recordings made by Andrews for Columbia Records during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It includes a selection of songs drawn from both her theatrical performances and her studio albums, reflecting the early stages of her career in music and theater.

The album release coincided with a period of renewed public attention in the United States, prompted by The Julie Andrews Show broadcast on ABC. The record label strategically utilized this moment of heightened visibility to enhance commercial interest in her earlier works.
