The Greatest Hits – Volume 2: 20 More Good Vibrations is a compilation album of songs by American rock band The Beach Boys, released in 1999 by Capitol Records. It was issued as a companion piece to The Greatest Hits – Volume 1: 20 Good Vibrations, on the same day.

The collection includes early classics that were omitted from the first volume, such as "In My Room" and "Don't Worry Baby", but also covers tracks from their less commercially successful period of 1967-1970, ranging from "Heroes and Villains" to the Al Jardine-produced "Cottonfields", the latter a European hit in the summer of 1970.

As on the first volume, the production credits on this album were revised: although originally credited to The Beach Boys, the songs "Heroes and Villains", "Wild Honey", "Darlin'" and "Friends" are now credited as being produced by Brian Wilson.

In March 2000, The Greatest Hits – Volume 2 charted at No. 192 in the United States, following the broadcast of the ABC TV movie The Beach Boys: An American Family.
