Singles is the greatest hits album of singer Alison Moyet, released in 1995. The album includes two previously unreleased tracks, Moyet's version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Solid Wood", as well as a number of hits from the singer's stint in 1980s electro-pop band Yazoo.

The album was re-released by Sony the following year as a two-disc set, Singles/Live, the second disc being a live recording of Alison on tour, again in 2000 as a one-disc set under the title Best of The Best – Gold and a third time in 2001 as The Essential Alison Moyet with a slightly revised track listing.
