The Best of Van Morrison Volume Two is a compilation album by Van Morrison released in 1993.

Van Morrison chose the tracks for this album himself. It is mostly drawn from his work during the period 1984-1991. "Real Real Gone" from the 1990 album Enlightenment was the only song included that was a fairly successful single. The other songs were not well-known except for among longtime fans. They were a good example of his more idiosyncratic material that had been prevalent during this period when his work was mostly about spiritual searches for fulfillment. But also included were a 1960s Them cover of John Lee Hooker's "Don't Look Back" and "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" a Bob Dylan cover.
