Afterglow is the third box set compilation by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).

It was released in 1990 with liner notes by music critic and editor Ira Robbins of Trouser Press.

A different two-CD compilation with identical artwork was issued simultaneously under the title The Very Best of The Electric Light Orchestra.

The box set mixes the usual hit singles with lesser known album tracks and non-album B-sides, and is most notable for including most of the Secret Messages (1983) tracks that were not released when the intended album was reduced from a double to a single LP as well as B-sides from Balance of Power (1986) singles.

All tracks written by Jeff Lynne, except "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry.
