Greatest Hits 2 is the second greatest hits album by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released in November 2004 via DreamWorks Records Nashville.

The compilation is composed of nine tracks from his first four DreamWorks albums: 1999's How Do You Like Me Now?!, 2001's Pull My Chain and 2002's Unleashed, as well as five new recordings. Three of these new recordings are studio tracks, of which two ("Stays in Mexico" and "Mockingbird") were released as singles, reaching No. 3 and No. 27, respectively, on the Hot Country Songs charts. "Mockingbird", a cover of the Inez and Charlie Foxx hit, features Keith's daughter Krystal as a duet partner.

The last two tracks on the album are newly recorded live renditions of two of Keith's early hits: his 1993 No. 1 debut single "Should've Been a Cowboy" (originally from his self-titled debut album), and his 1995 No. 2 hit "You Ain't Much Fun" (originally from Boomtown).
