ABBA Oro: Grandes Éxitos is a greatest hits compilation album by the Swedish recording group ABBA, released on 24 September 1993 in the United States via Polydor Records. It included the songs the group recorded in Spanish, acting as the Spanish equivalent of their ABBA Gold (1992) album. The original release featured all ten songs that were originally released on their compilation album Gracias Por La Música (1980). It was a success in Argentina, where it was certified Gold by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers.

Oro was followed by ABBA Mas Oro: Mas ABBA Exitos, which was released on 12 July 1994, exclusively in the United States. This re-issue included five English-language songs in addition to five "new" tracks in Spanish. The "new" tracks included were the Spanish versions of "Andante, Andante", "Happy New Year" ("Felicidad"), "When All Is Said and Done" ("No Hay a Quien Culpar"), and "Slipping Through My Fingers" ("Se Me Está Escapando"), which all appeared on the South American and Spanish versions of Super Trouper or The Visitors, and the previously unreleased "Ring Ring", which had been recorded in 1973, but was left in Polar Music's archives for nearly twenty years.

In 1999, all 15 tracks were finally collected in Spanish on one CD in the international re-issue of Oro. At that time the recordings were also digitally remastered in 24 bit. In 2002 this version of Oro was re-released, featuring updated artwork and new liner notes.
