Super Hits is a 1970 compilation album released by American soul singer Marvin Gaye on the Tamla label. It compiles Gaye's string of pop-R&B songs he recorded during 1962 to 1969.
Music critic Robert Christgau viewed Super Hits as the best album released by Motown. In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Ron Wynn gave it four-and-a-half out of five stars and called it "a fabulous anthology, one of the best ones Motown ever released."The New Rolling Stone Record Guide (1983) gave Super Hits four out of five stars.
A similarly titled compilation album was released in 2001 by Legacy Records and Sony Music, which The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) warned was "not the wonderful 1970 Motown collection, now deleted, but a budget set of Midnight Love material."
