"Platinum Collection" is a career-spanning box set by British veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis. It was released in 2004 in the UK and one year later in North America.

The set consists of three CDs that overlook Genesis' career from their formative period with Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett, continuing through their period with Phil Collins as lead singer, to their most recent recordings with Ray Wilson as frontman. As with 1998's "Genesis Archive 1967-75", this collection is mostly sequenced in reverse chronological order for the purpose of providing precedence to the newer material. The majority of the tracks were also remixed by studio collaborator Nick Davis.

Featuring songs from every studio album from 1970's "Trespass" to 1997's "Calling All Stations", "Platinum Collection" stands as the most comprehensive Genesis retrospective available. Upon its release, it reached #21 in the UK and #100 in the US.
