Greatest Hits is a compilation album by The Doors, released in 1980. The album, along with the film Apocalypse Now, released the previous year, created an entirely new audience which was too young to have remembered the band years before. The album went on to become one of the highest selling compilations of all time, with combined cd and vinyl sales of 5,000,000 in the United States alone.

The album was re-released in 1996 as an enhanced CD with a different track listing and cover art. On the 1996 release, the songs "The Ghost Song", "The End" and "Love Her Madly" were added, whereas "Not to Touch the Earth" was omitted.

Note: Japanese version of this CD has 13 tracks : Track 13 "Wintertime Love".
