Milestones: Greatest Hits is a compilation album by American country music singer-songwriter Holly Dunn. It was released by Warner Bros. Nashville in July 1991.

Milestones contains eleven songs, all but one of which are previously released. Five of them, including Dunn's self-penned well-beloved hit "Daddy's Hands", were originally released in the late 1980s by independent label MTM Records. Four more, including her two #1 country hits "Are You Ever Gonna Love Me" and "You Really Had Me Going", were originally put out by Warner Bros. Nashville, which signed Dunn after MTM closed its doors in late 1988 and acquired her MTM masters. In addition, "A Face in the Crowd" — a duet with Michael Martin Murphey that appeared in the latter's thirteenth studio album Americana (1987), also released by Warner Bros. — and the controversial "Maybe I Mean Yes", a brand-new song, also make their appearances in Milestones.

Two singles were released from the album: "Maybe I Mean Yes" and "No One Takes the Train Anymore", which was previously an album track from Dunn's fourth studio album The Blue Rose of Texas (1989). The former peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[2]

Milestones peaked at #25 on the Top Country Albums chart and #162 on the Billboard 200[3] and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[4]
