Hits is a greatest hits collection by popular UK indie-pop band Pulp, released in Britain in November 2002. As a collection, it only covers Pulp's singles from the early-90s when they started becoming popular, although the band had existed in one form or another since 1979.

"Mis-Shapes", from Different Class, is the only hit single not included here, apparently because the band cannot stand the song.

The album was also released on DVD under the same title, featuring the band's promotional videos from the same era, a number of live performances, documentaries and short movies.
