The Singles 81>85 is a singles compilation album released in October 1985 by Depeche Mode. The compilation was not originally released in North America, being replaced by its counterpart Catching Up with Depeche Mode. In 1998, to coincide with the release of The Singles 86>98, the band remastered, repackaged, and re-released the compilation worldwide. Two bonus tracks (one of which had never appeared on an official CD to date) were included on the 1998 re-release.

The 1998 re-issue has sold 283,000 units in the U.S. as of April 2006.
