Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the English synth-pop band The Human League, released on 31 October 1988 by Virgin Records. It contains 13 singles released by the band, spanning from their debut single (1978's "Being Boiled") to their most recent album at the time (1986's Crash), as well as lead singer Philip Oakey's collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, "Together in Electric Dreams" (1984). The album reached No. 3 in the UK.

On 30 October 1995, to cash in on the band's renewed success at that time, Virgin released an updated Greatest Hits with a new cover and three post-1988 tracks added: "Tell Me When" (from the 1995 Octopus album), "Stay with Me Tonight" (a brand new track, later released as a single) and a new remix of "Don't You Want Me" by German group Snap!.
