Flock Rock: Best Of The Flock is a compilation album by The Flock. It includes songs from their first and second albums, the only ones released on Columbia Records, as well as five previously unreleased songs.

The Flock was an American, Chicago-based jazz rock band, that released two albums on Columbia Records in 1969 (The Flock) and 1970 (Dinosaur Swamps). The Flock did not achieve the commercial success of other Columbia jazz-rock groups of the era such as Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears, but were recognized for featuring a violin prominently in their recordings. The violinist, Jerry Goodman, went on to become a member of Mahavishnu Orchestra and a solo artist. They also received some exposure with their release of a cover of The Kinks' song "Tired Of Waiting For You" as a single in April 1970.
