The Promised is a Simple Minds' compilation album released in 1997 by Virgin Records.
The track selection of the album is similar to the group's former compilation Glittering Prize 81/92. It omits "Love Song", "All the Things She Said", and "Ghost Dancing" but includes "New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84)" and their two most recent singles from Good News from the Next World which was their final album for Virgin Records.
