The Complete Studio Recordings is a ten compact disc box set by English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on 24 September 1993. It contains all nine of the original Led Zeppelin studio albums digitally remastered, with the inclusion of some of the previously unreleased tracks that had surfaced on the box set series, on Disc 10. The albums are placed in chronological order with the exception of Presence which appears between Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. The intention was to have the latter in one two-disc-sleeve.^[2]

The set also includes a booklet featuring an extended essay by rock journalist Cameron Crowe and photos of the band.

The album cover depicts the inside structure of a Zeppelin.

This title has been discontinued just prior to the launch of Mothership^{[citation needed]}, and is now superseded by the Definitive Collection Mini LP Replica CD Boxset^{[citation needed]}, which was released in September 2008.
