50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong (subtitled 39 Golden Greats) is a greatest hits album by English post-punk band The Fall, released in 2004 by record label Sanctuary.
50,000 is the group's first career-spanning compilation album, with a selection of songs from the 1978 EP Bingo-Master's Break-Out! up to the 2003 album The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click). The selection of songs includes both singles and album highlights. Daryl Eslea compiled the album and wrote the sleevenotes.
The cover and title of the album is a parody of Elvis Presley's 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong (1959).
