Still Stills: The Best of Stephen Stills is a compilation album ofStephen Stills, released on December 2, 1976 onAtlantic Records. Made up of songs from his first four Atlantic albums, including the two Manassas albums,^[1] it peaked at number 127 on the US charts, and increased Stills critical standing slightly.^[2] It was assembled without input from Stills himself, and is currently out of print.

This best-of album was a contractual fulfilment from his old record labelAtlantic Records, after signing toColumbia Records in 1975, to capitalise on the commercial success of hisreunion with Neil Young and the albumLong May You Run from three months before. The album contains songs only released from his first two solo records,Stephen Stills andStephen Stills 2, and from his two albums recorded with his bandManassas,Manassas andDown the Road. All songs included were released from 1970 to 1973, and this compilation has not been reissued oncompact disc.^[1][3]

Billboard said the set didn't feature Stills' most powerful and lasting work composed during his Buffalo Springfield and CSNY days, and said many of the tunes lack the substance and force that characterised his earlier work.^[5]Cash Box called the album a good reference for programmers and christmas sales, but featured a few singles that were overlooked on initial release.^[6]
