The combination classification is one of the primary awards in the Vuelta a España cycling stage race. This classification is calculated by adding the numeral ranks of each cyclist in the general, points, and mountains classifications (a rider must have a score in all classifications possible to qualify for the combination classification), with the lowest cumulative total signifying the leader of this competition.

Until 2002 this was the special classification of "regularity." Since 2006, the leader of the classification wears a white jersey; in 2005 it was a golden-green jersey.

The award strongly favours top riders in the competition. Since 2004, the winner of the overall title has also taken the combination classification.
