Welcome to the Videos is a DVD released in 1998 featuring music videos by the American rock group Guns N' Roses. All the videos featured were made between 1987 and 1994. In many ways, it is a video forerunner to their Greatest Hits album of 2004. It has achieved X2 Platinum in the US since its release (over 200,000 sales).

Notes
- The video for "You Could Be Mine" from Use Your Illusion II was likely omitted due to it containing scenes from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The promo video for "It's So Easy" from 1987's Appetite for Destruction is omitted because of content licensing issues - but can be found online.
- "Don't Cry (Alt. Lyrics)", which consists solely of the band performing on the Transamerica rooftop in L.A., is omitted but found on the VHS release, "Don't Cry - Makin' F@!#ing Videos Part 1". The "Alt. Lyrics" version of the video released to MTV was the same as the "Original," but with the "Alt. Lyrics" featured instead.
- "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", which was taken from The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, is not included for copyright reasons.
- This video album is an example of a "video greatest hits" release that is not accompanied by an audio album of similar material.
