The Best of Belinda, Volume 1 (released in the United States as Her Greatest Hits) is the fifth album by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in 1992 by Virgin Records. It is Carlisle's first greatest hits compilation album and includes her hits from 1987 to 1992. It is the only Carlisle album to have topped the UK Albums Chart. The Australian and Japanese cover art differs from the International versions as does the American release.

No new tracks were recorded for the album, with Carlisle having only recently given birth at the time of its release. Instead, "Little Black Book", a track from her most recent studio album, Live Your Life Be Free, was released as a single, serving to promote both albums.
