George Jones Sings His Greatest Hits is an album by George Jones, released on Starday Records in 1962.

Although the album is billed as a greatest hits package, it is identical to his 1957 LP Grand Ole Opry's New Star with a shuffled running order. "Why Baby Why," "What Am I Worth," "Yearning" (duet with Jeanette Hicks), and "You Gotta Be My Baby" were top ten hits.

AllMusic noted about the album, "From Saturday night honky tonkin' to Sunday morning churchgoing, George Jones makes it all swing hard, country-style, on these 14 topnotch cuts". ^[1]
