John Denver's Greatest Hits Volume 2 is a compilation album by American singer-songwriter John Denver, released in 1977. The single released from this album is "My Sweet Lady." It peaked at No. 13 on the adult contemporary chart, No. 32 on the pop chart, and No. 62 on the country chart in the United States.

As with his previous Greatest Hits album, Denver re-recorded many of his hits instead of using the original recordings.

In 1982, the album was re-released with a different cover in many countries. On this release, "Welcome to My Morning" was replaced with the duet version of "Perhaps Love," as performed with Placido Domingo. The song "Some Days Are Diamonds" was also added to the set list of this international album.
