45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records is a double album released in 2002 by NOFX. It was released through Fat Wreck Chords on May 21, 2002.

Over time, the band built up several songs that had not made it onto any of their albums, or had previously appeared on compilation albums, vinyl singles, or B-sides. Many of the songs had been dropped originally because of Fat Mike's tendency to not release albums that ran for too long.

The first CD contains a collection of songs spanning almost the entirety of the band's career. The oldest track is from the band's first demo, and the newest track was recorded for the album. The second CD contains the EPs Fuck the Kids and Surfer, each of which contain several short songs that were previously available only on 7" vinyl.

The vinyl release of the album was renamed to 22 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, but only included the first 21 tracks from the first CD, because tracks on the second CD were already available on the two vinyl EPs.
