Chisel is a compilation album by Australian pub rocker band Cold Chisel, released in September 1991. It features a selection of their best songs from previous albums, including live versions of the tracks "Bow River", "Merry-Go-Round," "Star Hotel" and "Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye)." The track "Misfits" was previously a B-side and was removed from later re-issues of this album. A limited edition release of this album included the long-deleted 1978 live EP You're Thirteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine.
The album peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Charts and was certified 9× Platinum in 2000.
In 2001 Cold Chisel's entire back catalogue was digitally remastered. To coincide with the new re-issues, Chisel was not only remastered but also expanded to include tracks from the 1998 reunion album The Last Wave of Summer. Featuring a new black cover, the 2001 version was also released as a limited 'bonus disc' edition which included a 20-page booklet.
