Twenty Greatest is the sixth album released by British pop group Brotherhood of Man. This was a compilation album featuring all their hit singles up to this point as well as selected album tracks and new recordings. The album was released on K-Tel records (in association with their regular label Pye) in late September 1978 and reached No.6 in the Charts, becoming the most successful album of their career.

The singles included are: "Lady", "Lady Lady Lay", "Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby", "Save Your Kisses for Me", "My Sweet Rosalie", "Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In)", " Angelo", "Highwayman", " Figaro", "Beautiful Lover" and "Middle of the Night". The early hits "United We Stand" and "Where are You Going to My Love" included here are new recordings by this version of the group.

This album is sometimes referred to simply as "Brotherhood of Man" - as this was the name (erroneously) accredited to it in the UK Chart listings. Early pressings of the album gave the group's name as "'The" Brotherhood of Man' (a name they hadn't been known as since the first incarnation of the group in the early 1970s) (see illustration), but later pressings had recified this to simply 'Brotherhood of Man'.
