Whitesnake's Greatest Hits is the universally first greatest hits album by the band Whitesnake, first released on 4 July in Europe and 19 July 1994 in the North America, by EMI Records and Geffen Records. The compilation features the group's well-known hits from a various amount of countries, predominately the success of their singles in North America, containing nine singles and two tracks from their previous recorded albums—Slide It In (1984), Whitesnake (also known as 1987), and Slip of the Tongue (1989)—as well as three tracks that were either previously unavailable in the United States or were released as B-sides.

Upon release, Whitesnake's Greatest Hits received positive reviews from music critics. It reached number four on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). However, it did not sold well in the United States, where it reached number 161 on the US Billboard 200 chart, but was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After the conclusion of the band's Greatest Hits tour, they were dropped by Geffen, and Whitesnake did not release another album in North America until 2008. The compilation was reissued in 2022 in its remixed form featuring a different track listing.
