Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in the UK in late 1966 on Decca Records. The album, including most of the band's hit singles, appeared seventh months after its American counterpart, which features a different cover art and tracklisting. The back cover for this UK release was used for the front on the US edition.

The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones' debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", was included, but its more successful follow-up, "I Wanna Be Your Man" - composed by rivals Lennon-McCartney - was left off the album.

Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) reached #4 in the UK charts.

The album has been out of print in the UK for years, although it was officially released on CD in Japan for a time.
