Decade – Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by Duran Duran, released on November 15, 1989 (see 1989 in music).

The remix single "Burning the Ground" was released to radio to promote this album; it was created by producer John Jones mixing snippets of the band's biggest hits from the previous decade into a new piece of music. However, the remix was not included on the Decade album.

Decade's track listing picked various hits from all Duran Duran's albums and presented them in mixes that were popular and mainstream among the public. Hence, it includes the Nile Rodgers edit of "The Reflex" and the radio edits of "Notorious" and "Skin Trade".

The album was rendered obsolete in 1998 with the release of Greatest, which included all 14 songs from this album, plus "New Moon on Monday" and four singles from the 90's.
