The Cockney Rebel – A Steve Harley Anthology is a remastered three-disc box-set anthology by Steve Harley, released in 2006. The anthology features material from Cockney Rebel, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel and Harley's solo career. It covers all of Harley's albums, spanning over 33 years, from 1973's The Human Menagerie to 2005's The Quality of Mercy. The anthology was released by EMI Music UK. It was released on CD in the UK only.[2] Today, the physical CD release is out-of-print.

The anthology was compiled by project manager Nigel Reeve and designed by Chris Peyton. The album's sleeve notes were written by Geoff Barton of Classic Rock magazine. Barton is a long-term fan of Harley. The final track on Disc 3, the live song "Only You", is highlighted as being previously unreleased, although it had originally appeared on the 1999 live album Stripped to the Bare Bones. A studio version of "Only You" was later recorded for Harley's sixth solo album Uncovered (2020).

Following its release, Harley spoke of the anthology in an October 2006 diary entry for his official website: "The Anthology is selling here in bucket-loads. I can't deny I'm proud of it. EMI have done a good job in all respects. You can't please everyone, but the 42 tracks seem a pretty fair reflection of my career so far." He later added in a January 2007 entry: "The Anthology release was the equivalent of the gold watch for long-service but gave me lots of warm feelings." (Wikipedia)
