Slade's Greats was a compilation album by the British glam/hard rock group Slade. It was released May 12, 1984 and reached number 89 on the UK charts.

The album was issued in the wake of the band's success of singles My Oh My and Run Runaway although they weren't included on the compilation. The compilation instead focused on the band's hits from the 70s, similar to the 1980 compilation Slade Smashes.

The album peaked at #81 for 1984 on rateyourmusic.
