The Complete Adventures of The Style Council is a box set by the Style Council, released in 1998, nine years after their split. Released after the success of 1997's Direction Reaction Creation, a box set of Paul Weller's previous band the Jam, this box set takes a similar approach, with the five discs compiling all of the Style Council's studio albums with all the non-album singles, B-sides and EP tracks interspersed chronologically. In cases where the single and album versions of the same song are radically different (such as "My Ever Changing Moods"), both versions are included. The box set also includes the group's previously unreleased final studio album Modernism: A New Decade, which was recorded and intended for release in 1989.

Allmusic reviewed the box set, saying "for most listeners, including some serious Weller fans, The Style Council is best appreciated as a singles band, but for the dedicated, The Complete Adventures reveals that the Style Council, no matter how maddening they could be, were a group that continually reinvented themselves, occasionally making some remarkable music along the way."
