The Human League Greatest Hits is a compilation music video by the British Synthpop group The Human League released VHS and Laserdisc.

The original version was released by Virgin Records in 1988, and ties in with the compilation album of the same name, released concurrently, with a slightly differing track listing and order. The 1988 version contains twelve music videos recorded between 1978 and 1986.

In 1995, to cash in on an upsurge in the band's popularity Virgin released an updated version of the compilation with three post-1988 videos as well as the 1979 "Empire State Human" video, which was not included on the 1988 version, while the Phil Oakey/Georgio Moroder "Together in Electric Dreams" was dropped. Again the video release tied in with a compilation audio album of the same name,[1] but with a differing track listing and order.
