ABBA Oro: Grandes Éxitos is a greatest hits album by ABBA, first released by Polydor in the United States in 1993, in which the songs are sung in Spanish. This album is the Spanish equivalent of their Gold album, originally released as Gracias Por La Música in early 1980.

ABBA Oro was followed by ABBA Mas Oro: Mas ABBA Exitos (ABBA More Gold: More ABBA Hits) [2] in 1994 which included five English-language versions plus further tracks in Spanish; the four songs that appeared on the South American versions of Super Trouper and The Visitors, and it also saw the debut of the previously unreleased Spanish version of "Ring Ring", recorded in 1973 but left in the Polar archives for twenty-one years.

The international 1999 re-issue of ABBA Oro comprises all fifteen Spanish-language songs that originally appeared on Gracias Por La Música and Mas Oro.
