Diamonds is a greatest hits album by English musician Elton John spanning his hits from 1970 to 2016. The album was released on 10 November 2017. It was released in a single disc version, a 2-CD version, a 3-CD deluxe box set, and a 2-LP vinyl version.^[2] The two disc and vinyl versions have either as many or fewer songs than the previous multi-platinum collection.

It is the first career-spanning compilation of John's music since the release of Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits in 2007. It was released to commemorate the 50 years of John's work with lyricist Bernie Taupin.^[3] Although their collaboration began in 1967, the oldest hit in the album is "Your Song", from John's eponymous 1970 album. The limited edition 3-CD box set version of Diamonds includes a 72-page hardback book with annotations for the stories behind each track and a set of five postcards of illustrations of Elton John by contemporary artist Richard Kilroy.

In June 2024, the British Phonographic Industry certified Diamonds quintuple Platinum for sales of 1,500,000 units. In the United States, the Recording Industry Association of America certified Diamonds double Platinum for sales of 1,000,000 units on November 21, 2023 (for double albums over 100 minutes long, the RIAA counts each disc towards certification).
