Monster Hits or Hits 11 is the eleventh release of the Hits compilation Series. It was released on 20 November 1989 in the United Kingdom and it debuted at number two on the UK Compilation Chart (kept off by its rival Now 16). The album was issued on vinyl, double cassette and double compact disc and featured 32 tracks.

The Hits compilation series began in 1984 and had become a successful brand for its compilers, the partnership comprising CBS, WEA and BMG with healthy sales rivalling that even of the hugely successful Now series. However, it is with this release that the compilers began altering the format of the Hits series and there would several more rebrands in the years to come.

Hits 11 features three songs which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "Ride On Time", "All Around The World" and "That's What I Like".

An accompanying video release from BMG Video, Monster Hits Video Selection, contained a selection of 15 tracks from the album. It was released on VHS.
