Lo Último de Mecano (English: Mecano's Latest) is a compilation album by the Spanish band Mecano.

Lo Último de Mecano was released by Mecano's former record label CBS in 1986, to capitalise on the renewed popularity the band had achieved with their first studio album for BMG Ariola, Entre el cielo y el suelo.

The album includes four previously released B-sides and four live songs recorded in Segovia during the Ya Viene el Sol tour. The four b-sides were later included in another CBS low-budget compilation titled Hoy no me puedo levantar y otros grandes exitos; La Extraña Posición and Viaje Espacial were also featured as bonus tracks on the 2005 re-release of Ya Viene el Sol and ¿Dónde está el país de las hadas? respectively, and on the 'Extras' CD in the Obras Completas box set. The live tracks are not available elsewhere.

Lo Último de Mecano is the only Mecano album that was not re-released in 1998, making the CD edition particularly rare.
