The Kinks Greatest Hits! was the first compilation album released in the US by British rock group The Kinks in 1966. The album consists of some of the most popular singles and songs released by the Kinks since 1964. It is the only Kinks album to reach the US top 10 peaking at #9. The 1965 single "See My Friends" was not included on the album as, despite reaching #10 on the UK charts, it only made #111 in the US.

A greatest hits album, sometimes called a best of album or a catalog album, is a compilation of songs by a particular artist or band. Most often the track list contains previously released recordings with a high degree of notability. However to increase the appeal, especially to people who already own the original release, it is common to include remixes and/or alternate takes of popular songs; even new material (previously unreleased). At times a greatest hits compilation is the original release for songs that have themselves been released as a single and charted successfully.

Greatest Hits (qui donnerait en français : plus grands succès/tubes) est un nom assez courant de compilation des morceaux les plus populaires d'artistes anglophones.

Greatest Hits är ett vanligt namn på samlingsalbum där en grupp eller soloartist släpper sina mest framgångsrika melodier genom åren.
