Greatest Hits: My Prerogative is the first greatest hits collection from pop music singer Britney Spears, released on November 9, 2004. It includes most of Spears' hit singles, from "...Baby One More Time" up to "Toxic". Included are three new songs; a cover of Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" (which was featured as the lead single), and two previously unreleased songs entitled "Do Somethin'" (which was later released as a single) and "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)".

Spears released this fifth album sooner rather than later to fulfill her five-album contract with Jive Records. During the 2004 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, she decided to resign with Jive.

The album was beaten to the #1 position in the UK by Eminem's Encore, which was released in the middle of the week (whereas Spears' album had a whole week of sales to count), but he still had enough sales to overtake her album; therefore, Spears had to settle for a #2 debut. This was her first album not to debut at #1 in the US, though it has still been able to sell over 1 million copies (RIAA platinum certification) there and over 5.5 million worldwide.
