Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 21 November 1988 by Warner Bros. Records.[3] It covers the period of the band's greatest commercial success, from the mid-1970s to the late-1980s.

It is different from the similarly titled 1971 release by the Peter Green incarnation of the band and contains a different track listing. The 1988 album draws only on recordings from after Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the group in 1975, omitting earlier hits such as "Albatross" and "Oh Well".

The album has proven to be a major success since the time of its release. It peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200[4] and sold steadily over the years since its release, and has to date been certified 8× platinum for shipping eight million copies there. In the United Kingdom, it reached number three upon release and has returned several times to the UK album chart[5] and has been certified triple platinum for shipping 900,000 copies there.
