"The Complete Studio Recordings" is a seven compact disc box set by American rock group The Doors, released by Elektra on November 9, 1999. It contains only six of the original eight Doors albums, digitally remastered with 24 bit, with the inclusion of stray previously unreleased tracks that had surfaced on the "" series, on disc seven.

The albums are placed in chronological order.

Misleading title

While the title of the box set suggests this is a collection of all the studio recordings by the band, there are some notable exceptions. The set does not include the three post-Morrison albums "Other Voices", "Full Circle" and "An American Prayer", nor their respective singles. The non-album B-side to "Love Her Madly"; "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further", a Willie Dixon song sung by Manzarek, is also missing.

This box set has since been supplanted by The Doors "Perception" box set.
