The Rough Guide to Flamenco is a world music compilation album originally released in 1997.

Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series,[1] the album gives broad coverage to the flamenco genre of Spain.

The compilation was produced by Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.

Writing for AllMusic, Adam Greenberg called it a "nice overview of the tradition", but that for purer forms, listeners should "look elsewhere".

[3] Michaelangelo Matos of the Chicago Reader claimed it "suffered from compilationitis", losing steam half way through.
