Ben E. King's Greatest Hits is the fifth album and first compilation album by Ben E. King. Many classic hits such as "Stand By Me", "Spanish Harlem", "I (Who Have Nothing)", and others return on this compilation disc released in 1964.

Many discographies do not note this work; however, Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebook References the album as being released before "Seven Letters". A stereo version of this disc was re-issued in 1966. Some of the songs, most notably, "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)," were released in alternate versions without explanation.
