Greatest Hits is the second greatest hits album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, released on December 4, 2001, by Columbia Records. It contains most of Carey's singles from 1990 to 2000 during her tenure at Columbia, including her then fifteen U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. The album has been certified two-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 4.7 million copies worldwide.

Greatest Hits was re-released as The Essential Mariah Carey on January 10, 2011 internationally, as part of Legacy Recordings's Essential series, and features the same track listing. The U.S. edition, released on April 24, 2012, replaces some tracks with extended mix versions and additional non-single tracks, selected by Carey.
