50 Number Ones is a compilation album, released in 2004, by American country music singer George Strait. It is a compilation of his first 50 Number One country music singles, starting with 1981's "Fool Hearted Memory" and presented in chronological order. A new track, "I Hate Everything", was also included, and became his 51st overall Number One in 2004. The figure of 50 Number Ones relies not just on songs that have reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, but also of those which topped the Radio & Records and Gavin Report charts. The album has been certified 7× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.

Many of the songs have been edited from their album versions in order to fit all the songs on two discs.
