The Story So Far – The Best Of is a compilation album by the English rock band Def Leppard. The album has a similar track listing to previous compilations, however it is the first to include tracks from the band's recent studio efforts Songs from the Sparkle Lounge (2008) and Def Leppard (2015) as well as all three studio tracks from Mirror Ball – Live & More (2011).
The album includes all tracks from their first greatest hits album Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980–1995) (1995) with the exception of "Miss You in a Heartbeat".
Unlike the three previous greatest hits releases Vault, Best of Def Leppard (2004) and Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection (2005), The Story So Far – The Best Of features the Hysteria album versions of the songs "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Rocket".
