Hundreds & Thousands is a remix album by Bronski Beat released in 1985.

The compilation was assembled after lead singer Jimmy Somerville's departure from the band, combining tracks from what would have been the next single ("Run From Love"/"Hard Rain") with new remixes of four tracks from The Age of Consent. It was the last Bronski Beat album to feature Somerville's vocals.

The cassette and CD editions added three B-sides and an existing 12" single remix of "I Feel Love". (The remaining B-sides "Red Dance", "The Potato Fields", "Puit d'Amour" and "Signs & Wonders" were not included until the 2012 re-release which paired the album with The Age of Consent)
