The Beginning of the Enz is a compilation album from the New Zealand rock group Split Enz. It contains non-album singles and demos that pre-date the band's first album Mental Notes. Three of these songs, "129", "Lovey Dovey" and "Spellbound", were later re-recorded and included on Mental Notes and Second Thoughts.
The album reached number 35 in New Zealand, but did not chart in Australia.
An unrelated compilation album, Beginning of the Enz (dropping "The" from the title), was released in the UK in 1980 by Chrysalis Records.
