I Ran: The Best of A Flock of Seagulls is an album by new wave band A Flock of Seagulls released in 2004. The album has subsequently been reissued under the titles Space Age Love Songs and Greatest Hits.

The album contains Mike Score's new versions of the band's songs that were specially recorded for use on Cleopatra Records remix album Greatest Hits Remixed. The album also contains two remixes taken from that album ("Space Age Love Song (KMFDM Remix)" here being retitled as the Günter Schulz Remix) together with three additional new remixes. These versions were never intended for release as recorded, and Mike Score was reportedly unhappy that they eventually were. According to The Rolling Stone Album Guide, the album is "a tacky bunch of re-recordings" one should steer clear of.{{cite book| last = Brackett | first = Nathan |author2=Christian Hoard | title = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | publisher = Simon and Schuster | year = 2004 | location = New York City, New York | pages = [https://archive.org/details/newrollingstonea00brac/page/304 304]–305 | isbn = 0-7432-0169-8 | url = https://archive.org/details/newrollingstonea00brac| url-access = registration | quote = rolling stone a flock of seagulls album guide. }}

The album art is an homage to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which features "I Ran (So Far Away)" on its soundtrack.
