Snakes and Ladders / The Best of Faces was an October 1976 best-of album by British rock group Faces, an attempt to collect all of the popular songs from the group that had disbanded the previous year. Featuring photography by Tom Wright and cover art by guitarist Ronnie Wood, it was superseded by the compilation Good Boys... When They're Asleep in 1999.
The selections are biased in favour of Rod Stewart's lead vocals, with only one track featuring Wood on vocals, and none featuring Ronnie Lane, the group's secondary vocalist, who sang on several tracks on each of the group's four studio albums. Lane's songwriting is also under-represented, and Lane is nowhere pictured in the many snapshots featured on the cover.
