"Diva - The Hits" is a greatest hits album by Israeli singer Dana International, released on the IMP Dance label in 1998 with the catalogue number IMP 2048. The compilation includes Dana International's winning entry of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham, "Diva", along with some of her best-known songs as well as a few new recordings and remixes.

This compilation album was released in Israel only.

Unofficial and unconfirmed rumours say that this album was not allowed to be released in the UK, as Dana only had one chart hit and therefore had no "hits", (excluding "Diva".).

The Hebrew expression "Menafnefet" means to be waving someone or something away dismissingly.

The "Diva - The Hits" album includes songs sung in four languages; Hebrew, Arabic, English and Italian.
