Legend is a greatest hits collection of Bob Marley and the Wailers songs, released by Island records on May 8, 1984 (see 1984 in music). The original compilation, first issued on LP, contains 14 songs in their edited single format. Later it was released on CD with the same listing. It includes 10 of Marley's 11 top 40 UK hits at the time, plus three songs from the early configuration of the Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston ("Stir It Up", "I Shot the Sheriff" and "Get Up, Stand Up"), and the last song released on Marley's final non-posthumous album Uprising, the fan-favorite "Redemption Song".

A remastered version appeared in 1995 on CD on Tuff Gong label. Although track listing has the same 14 songs, the tracks are now in their original album version, e.g. Exodus and No Woman No Cry over 7 minutes long.

A cassette release of the album featured two extra songs, "Punky Reggae Party" (the 11th top 40 hit), and "Easy Skanking", from the Kaya LP. These two songs were later included on both the 2002 second reissue of Legend and its two-disc Deluxe Edition counterpart.

To date, it has sold over 12 million copies, making it a 12X Platinum or 1X Diamond record. It is the best-selling reggae record of all time. Despite some criticisms that the compilation weighs too heavily on Marley's later career and includes little to nothing from many of his earlier albums (including much of the work with Tosh and Livingston), it remains a perennial seller to this day and has served as an introduction to Marley's music for many fans.

Album recorded by female Japanese pop artist Watanabe Misato. It was released on January 1, 2003 by Sony Music Entertainment.
