""Eight Ballets and Madrigals, 1598"" is a collection of musical compositions by the English composer Thomas Weelkes, originally published in 1598. The book contains eight pieces, each featuring a combination of vocal and instrumental parts. The ballets are lively and upbeat, while the madrigals are more contemplative and introspective.

This edition of the book was published in 1895 and includes a preface by the editor, as well as notes on the individual pieces.
