John Lennon Anthology is a box set of home demos, alternative studio outtakes and other unreleased material recorded by John Lennon over the course of his solo career from "Give Peace a Chance" in 1969 up until the 1980 sessions for Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey.

The anthology was divided by its compiler and co-producer, Yoko Ono, into four discs representing four eras in Lennon's career: "Ascot"; "New York City"; "The Lost Weekend" and "Dakota".

John Lennon Anthology reached #62 in the UK and #99 in the US, where it went gold.
