This article is about the album. For other uses, see Pieces of a Dream.

Pieces of a Dream is the 2005 greatest hits compilation by the American pop/rock singer Anastacia, covering singles from her first three studio albums Not That Kind, Freak of Nature and Anastacia. Just two of Anastacia's singles - "Boom", the official 2002 FIFA World Cup anthem, and "Love Is a Crime", the official soundtrack of the 2002 film Chicago - were omitted from the album, but are found as remixes in the Special Edition of the album).

There were never any official plans to release the album in the United States, to many American fans disappointment. Suprisingly though, the regular edition was released on iTunes.
