Greatest Hits II is the second compilation album by American country music singer Clint Black, released on October 30, 2001. It was his last release for RCA Nashville.

Like his first Greatest Hits volume, it compiles 12 hit songs from his previous albums and adds four new recordings: the romantic duet "Easy for Me to Say" (his second duet with wife Lisa Hartman Black), "Little Pearl and Lily's Lullaby" (a song for their then-newborn daughter), the country-rocker "Money or Love", and a newly recorded "blues version" of "Put Yourself in My Shoes". Also included is the long version of Black's 1997 duet with Martina McBride, "Still Holding On", which was the B-side of that single.
