Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, also known as More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits in certain territories, is the second greatest hits album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on November 17, 1971, through Columbia Records. A double album, the set contains previously released material spanning The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963) to the "Watching the River Flow" single (released in June 1971), as well as previously unreleased recordings of songs written by Dylan which had been hits for other artists.

Compiled by Dylan himself, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II contains then-recent singles such as "Lay Lady Lay" and "If Not for You" as well as popular album tracks. The cover art features Dylan photographed performing at The Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971. The album was moderately successful, reaching the top 20 in both the US and UK. It has been well-received by critics, particularly for its inclusion of previously unreleased material.
