The Magic of Boney M. is a greatest hits album of recordings by Boney M. released by Sony BMG in October 2006.

The compilation which is an updated version of 1992's Gold – 20 Super Hits and 2001's The Greatest Hits includes eighteen of Boney M's best known hits from the 1970s and 1980s, a new remix of 1976 single "Sunny" by German DJ and record producer Mousse T. as well as one new track featuring vocals from original Boney M. lead vocalist Liz Mitchell.
