Ramones Mania is a compilation album by the American punk rock band the Ramones. It was released on May 31, 1988 through Sire Records. The compilation consists of 30 Ramones songs, including some single versions ("Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "Needles & Pins" and "Howling at the Moon"), a single b–side ("Indian Giver") and one previously unreleased song version (the film version of "Rock 'n' Roll High School").

The album contains a booklet with a short history of the Ramones, including the release dates of all their albums. Their best-selling album, it was the only Ramones album to be certified Gold in the United States, until their debut album went Gold in 2014.^[4]

Ramones Mania was re-released on multi-colored vinyl for Record Store Day in 2010. A sequel to the album was released in Japan in 2000. A tribute album titled Ramones Maniacs was released in 2001; it featured turn-of-the-century punk bands covering every song from Mania.^[5]
