Building Nothing Out of Something is a compilation album released in early 2000 (the copyright reads 1999) by indie rock band Modest Mouse, comprising non-album tracks from various points in the band's career. Most of the tracks are A- and B-sides from 7" singles, but it also includes three tracks from the Interstate 8 EP, and "Baby Blue Sedan" from the vinyl version of The Lonesome Crowded West. All songs were originally released from 1996 to 1998.

While a very thorough compilation, the album does miss some non-album tracks that were released in this time frame, including "A Manic Depressive Named Laughing Boy", "Edit the Sad Parts", "Buttons to Push Buttons", and "Whenever You See Fit".
