Gold by The Beautiful South is the third greatest hits album to be released by the band. It is similar in design to other "Gold" albums released by bands either currently or previously of various labels under the Universal Music Group. The album is a 2 disc collection of both single and album tracks taken from the first 8 of the band's back catalogue. It was released without the band's consent and had zero input from the band.

Although billed as being "packed with all their major hits", the album had several significant omissions. It also had a random play order, but did receive positive critical reception including a review in Allmusic which stated the album has a "good gathering of what is arguably some of the most popular British pop music of the 1990s".
