XS All Areas – The Greatest Hits is an album by English rock band Status Quo, released in September 2004. It is a best-of compilation with two new tracks, "You'll Come 'Round" and "Thinking of You". A DVD collection of promo videos, live concert footage and television appearances from throughout the band's history to that point, also titled XS All Areas – The Greatest Hits, was released on the same day. The album and DVD coincided with the release of band members Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt's duel autobiography XS All Areas.
