Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Gord's Gold Volume II is a compilation album released by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot in 1988.

Like the first Gord's Gold collection, Volume II features re-recordings of earlier hits alongside the contemporary material. On Gord's Gold only the early songs that didn't match Lightfoot's 1970s sound (and whose original masters were owned by Lightfoot's former label, United Artists) were re-recorded. However, on Volume II all tracks, apart from "Make Way (For the Lady)," "Ghosts of Cape Horn," Baby Step Back," and "It's Worth Believin'" were re-recorded. The album also contains the first appearance of "If It Should Please You," a previously unrecorded song that the band often performed in concert. Some tracks on Volume II that had been released during the 1980s sound almost identical to their original recording. Additionally, the re-recorded tracks were recorded live in the studio.

"Ghosts of Cape Horn" and "It's Worth Believin'" did not appear on the vinyl release.
