Compact Snap! is a greatest hits CD collection from The Jam. It is an abbreviated version of the vinyl double-album Snap!, originally released in 1983. Compact Snap! is the second greatest hits album by The Jam.

The Compact Snap! CD omitted 8 tracks from Snap! in order be released as a single CD. The omitted tracks were "Away From The Numbers", "Billy Hunt", "English Rose", "Mr. Clean", "The Butterfly Collector", "Thick As Thieves", "Man in the Corner Shop" and "Tales from the Riverbank". The result is that Compact Snap! is a collection of all The Jam's singles, with the exception of "Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero?". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called it "one of the greatest greatest-hits albums of all time".[2]

The album was repackaged in 1990 as All The Choice Cuts as part of the Polydor Startrax series.
