Group Portrait is a compilation album by the American band Chicago, released in 1991 by Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings originally, later reissued on the band's Chicago Records label. It includes hits and album cuts from the band's first fourteen albums along with rare tracks.
Group Portrait bears notable differences from most of the band's other official compilation and live albums including the following: it is not assigned a number in the album title number sequence; its cover art depicts people instead of just a logo art concept; and it includes commentary from all of the band members, including former members Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine. Unlike the 2003 anthology The Box released later, this collection only covers their tenure with Columbia Records, and doesn't feature any of their Warner Bros. material.
