Greatest Hits is a compilation album released by country singer Jo Dee Messina in 2003.

This album featured Messina's biggest hits from her first three studio albums (1996's Jo Dee Messina, 1998's I'm Alright, and 2000's Burn). Also included are four new studio tracks: "Was That My Life", "Wishing Well", "You Belong in the Sun", and "I Wish". Of these, "Was That My Life" and "I Wish" were released as singles, peaking at #21 and #15, respectively, on the Billboard country music charts in 2003.
