Genesis Archive #2: 1976-1992 is a 2000 boxed set by veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis. This retrospective covers the band's history while Phil Collins was lead singer.

The three discs consist of live recordings (mostly previously unreleased, with a few that had been B-sides), demos, non-album B-sides (many of which were not previously available on CD) and tracks from the rare Spot the Pigeon and 3 X 3 EPs. There was a minor backlash from hardcore fans as "Match of the Day" and "Me and Virgil" were left off the set (although both had been released on CD before) due to Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford disliking the former track while Phil Collins disliked the latter one. (Less talked about was the fact that "Submarine" and "It's Yourself", neither released on CD otherwise, were both edited versions -- the former due to master damage, the latter due to the band's preference.)

Genesis Archive #2: 1976-1992 did not chart upon release.
