Unbreakable – The Greatest Hits Volume 1 is the first greatest hits album by Irish boy band Westlife. The album was released on 11 November 2002. The album consists of all of the group's past singles along with six new songs. Hit single "Flying Without Wings" was re-recorded as a duet with South Korean singer BoA and Mexican singer Cristian Castro, and each respective duet was included on the Asian and Spanish editions of the album respectively. The first single released from the album was "Unbreakable", a UK number-one single. The second single, the double A-side "Tonight" / "Miss You Nights" peaked at number three in the UK and at number one in Ireland.

Unbreakable peaked at number one in the UK and sold 1.8 million copies in the UK alone. The album was the ninth best-selling album of 2002 in the UK. It is also the band's biggest selling album and their longest charting album. The album spent 55 weeks on the UK Top 100 Albums chart.{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artists/|title=Take That|publisher=Official Charts Company|access-date=2012-03-12|archive-date=8 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508182655/https://www.officialcharts.com/artists/|url-status=live}} This is the fifth best-selling album of 2002 in Ireland.
