O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits is a greatest hits album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music) by Columbia Records and Geffen Records. A double-disc album, it includes 28 of the band's biggest hits in chronological order and spans the band's entire career up to 2002. Also included are two new songs, "Girls of Summer" and "Lay it Down". Some pressings included bonus tracks, in addition to the 30 songs found on standard versions. Noticeably, more weight seems to have been given to the later recordings than the band's earlier days; only 12 out of the 33 compiled songs are drawn from the 1973-1985 era.

O, Yeah! has since been certified double platinum. Noticeable on the corners of album cover are the different variations of the Aerosmith logo used throughout the band's career.
