Greatest Hits from the Bong is the greatest hits album by American hip hop group Cypress Hill. It was released on December 13, 2005 via Columbia Records. Production was handled by Alchemist, DJ Khalil, Fredwreck, T-Ray and Cypress Hill themselves. It features guest appearances from Tego Calderón.

The compilation contains nine hit songs from previous CDs and two new tracks, "EZ Come EZ Go" and "The Only Way". The disc also contains a bonus Reggaeton mix of "Latin Thugs" featuring Tego Calderon. European pressings contained an additional three bonus tracks. A European reissue, with substantially different artwork, was released in 2006 via Sony BMG Music Entertainment. Although this album is called Greatest Hits from the Bong, it does not include the song "Hits from the Bong".
