Working for the Man is a compilation album by British band Tindersticks.

The album covers the period from the band's first single in 1992 to 1999, when Tindersticks' contract with Island ended after the release of their fourth studio album Simple Pleasure.

Working for the Man was released ahead of the reissue by Island of the group's first five albums in remastered and expanded versions.

The album's artwork is by artist Suzanne Osborne and the band's singer Stuart Staples.

Initial versions of the album came with a second bonus disc of hard to find or deleted tracks.
