Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats is a compilation album by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel.

The vinyl version of the album is called Shaking the Tree: Twelve Golden Greats.

For the album packaging, Gabriel decided to forgo longboxes in favor of a jewel box as a means of reducing waste.

"Shakin' the Tree"—a track from Youssou N'Dour's 1989 album The Lion—is a 1990 version featuring new vocals from Gabriel (and slightly revised title).

In interviews, Gabriel has said that he preferred the 1979 version, which he also chose to overdub in German as the flipside of the single "Biko" released before Ein deutsches Album (1980).
