The Grote Spectrum Encyclopedie ("Great Spectrum Encyclopedia") (published by Uitgeverij het Spectrum, Utrecht between 1974 en 1980) is a Dutch encyclopedia which treats subjects in 5000 large and comprehensive articles (like the Encyclopaedia Britannica) with a clear accent on the social sciences. The encyclopedia is functionally illustated en consists of 20 volumes A-Z, and four index volumes with references to lemmas within the treated subjects. The fourth index volume also contains a comprehensive bibliography (die bij de artikelen zelf ontbreekt). A supplement (volume 25) appeared in 1984.

De rise of new storage media in the 1990s (CD-ROM, DVD) halted the plans for a second edition of the Grote Spectrum Encyclopedie. An actualised supplement did appear in 2002.
