Four Thousand Seven Hundred And Sixty-Six Seconds - A Short Cut To Teenage Fanclub is a greatest hits album by British alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, released on 3 February 2003. The title refers to the album's total length, just thirty-four seconds short of the maximum running time possible on a single CD: as a consequence the tracks "Starsign" and "My Uptight Life" were edited from their original versions in order to fit on to the album.

The album comprises fourteen singles, four album tracks, and three new songs written for the album. It reached #47 in the UK album charts.[5]
