"Greg! The Stop Sign!!" is a single by Australian alternative rock band TISM. It was the second single from the album Machiavelli and the Four Seasons (1995).

The song, along with its predecessor "(He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River" is one of TISM's most popular tracks, and reached #10 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 1995. The Guardian has called it "a metaphor for our collective mortality" and "thrillingly bizarre".

The song is based on a series of speeding advertisements released by the TAC (road and safety authorities), who are even mentioned in the song. One TAC advertisement in particular that was in heavy rotation on Australian television in the early 1990s featured young people driving in a car on a country road. The atmosphere in the car is jovial; the driver is speeding, though on a country road he doesn't seem to mind and the passengers are not wearing seatbelts. The young driver is momentarily distracted as the car travels into an intersection at the same time as another car. Moments before the accident, the female passenger yells out "Darren!" but it is too late to avoid the accident.

The song features a combination of dance-pop beats, alternative rock guitar riffs, and The Beach Boys-influenced vocal harmonies.

The bridge is recycled from an earlier song called "Consumption Tax", which was recorded during The Beasts of Suburban sessions in 1992 and released on Collected Recordings 1986-1993 in 1995. The solo is a variation on the intro riff from The Shadows' composition "FBI".

The video for the song, directed by Mark Hartley, begins with TISM in the locker room of the St Kilda Football Club, eventually having them perform the song in a football field. According to Tim Webster on the Gold! Gold!! Gold!!! (1998) video, this was an effort to "Save the St Kilda club".
