"Slade Smashes" was a compilation album by the British glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released November 1, 1980 and reached number 21 on the UK charts.

The album was issued in the wake of the band's new-found success following their appearance at the annual Reading Festival, filling in for Ozzy Osbourne. The album featured most of the band's big hits from their early and mid 1970s heyday in the UK as well as less successful tracks from the band's "down period" in the late 1970s. This collection, alongside the band's current release "We'll Bring the House Down", further cemented Slade's comeback in the UK and Europe (and shortly afterwards, newfound success in the United States).
