The Rutles is a Rutles compilation album that was released by Warner Bros. Records in 1978, as the soundtrack to the Melvin Hall documentary about the Rutles, All You Need Is Cash.

The album included popular Rutle tracks, such as Hold My Hand, Number One, and Cheese and Onions. Its album cover features a collage of four Rutles albums: Meet the Rutles (1963), Tragical History Tour (1967), Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band (1967) and Let It Rot (1970).

The compilation album sold well and, along with the documentary, led to a revival in Rutlemania. A 40th anniversary edition was released in 2018, which contained songs not included on the original album. The expanded 2018 edition would also be remixed and re-released in 2023 and would include the final Rutle tune "Hard to Get".
