Only the Bones – Deborah Conway's Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by Australian artist Deborah Conway, released in July 2002. Conway toured Australia in support of the album. It was re-released, with a different cover, in July 2004 as The Definitive Collection.

Australian freelance music journalist, Debbie Kruger of Melbourne Weekly Bayside, described how Conway "put together a greatest hits collection of her work, Only the Bones, and then drew a line, as many mature artists do, from which she could move forward, redefined." Michael Dwyer opined that "It's 20 years since Deborah Conway's first EPs with Do Re Mi; an even dozen since her smash solo debut, String of Pearls. Last year's Only the Bones compilation summed up a commercially erratic but always interesting career." The original cover art, by Pierre Baroni, of Only the Bones depicts Conway at a table picking over a meal (see infobox).
