Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records is a greatest hits compilation album containing songs by artists signed to the Beatles' Apple record label between 1968 and 1973. The first and currently only such multi-artist Apple compilation, it was released on 25 October 2010. Among the artists are Badfinger, Mary Hopkin, James Taylor, Billy Preston, Jackie Lomax, Ronnie Spector and Hot Chocolate. In most cases, the recordings were produced or written by one of the Beatles, with George Harrison and Paul McCartney being the most heavily represented on the album.

The compilation accompanied a massive campaign by Apple Corps and EMI to reissue the albums originally released by the Beatles' record label, and the project and remastered albums are led by the same team of engineers that worked on the Beatles' 2009 remastered albums, John Lennon's 2010 remastered albums, and sixteen other 2010 remastered albums by various other artists (a song from each of these sixteen albums is on Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records).
