Greatest Hits is the first studio album by Canadian rock band Rheostatics.^[1] Only 1,000 copies were released in 1987, and all sold out.^[1] The album was subsequently rereleased in 1996.

Despite the album's name, it is not a greatest hits compilation in the conventional sense. It does, however, compile songs from the band's pre-1987 demo releases. The album's best known song is "The Ballad of Wendel Clark, Parts I and II", an ode to Toronto Maple Leafs player Wendel Clark.^[1]
