The Enigma Variations is a compilation album of newer artists (in 1985) that were on Enigma Records or one of its subsidiaries.

It was originally released as a double LP and cassette, but was then subsequently also released as a CD with a reduced number of tracks.

The album was compiled by Steve Pross and William Hein.

The Greek pressing of the album (on Virgin Records) was issued as a single LP.
