Old Time Greats is a 2-disc compilation album by American rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd. Released in 1997, this compilation documents the original 1970s run of the band before the 1977 Convair 240 crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray.

The album is released by Repertoire Records out of Hamburg, Germany. It is only available in the United States as an import.

The tracks are from 1971 to 1977. The first four tracks on CD 1 are early recordings from 1971-72 that were originally later released on Best of the Rest in 1982 (1990 on CD) and Skynyrd's First and... Last from 1978 respectively. Those songs were recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio for what was originally planned to be the band's shelved debut album, making (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) their official debut. The remaining tracks on the album are in chronological order starting with songs from (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) in 1973 and concludes with songs from Street Survivors in 1977.
