Enz of an Era was a compilation by New Zealand rock band Split Enz. Released to mark the band's 10th anniversary, and composed of tracks selected by members of the band, the album was released in New Zealand and Australia only. The album was followed up by two "Enz Of An Era" 10th anniversary concerts in early 1983, where the then-current line-up of the band - Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner, Noel Crombie and Nigel Griggs - were joined by former members Mike Chunn, Rob Gillies and Emlyn Crowther.
