Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits is a 1992 compilation album by the Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan.

As well as a collection of her greatest hits, the album also contained four new songs (see below). Although credited solely to Estefan on the front cover, the album also contains material released when she was part of the band Miami Sound Machine (which would later became her backing band). The international releases of the album included "Dr. Beat" and "Bad Boy", thoguh the Australian/New Zealand release replaced "Bad Boy" with "Cuts Both Ways". A limited edition Australian double CD set was released which included the "Megamix" - a medley of Estefan's early dance hits.
