The Studio Albums 1992–2011 is an eleven-disc box set from the American progressive metal band Dream Theater, released in July 2014. It gathers ten of their studio albums in chronological order, beginning with Images and Words and running through to A Dramatic Turn of Events.

The set leaves out the 1989 debut, When Dream and Day Unite, and the self-titled album from 2013, which had appeared only ten months earlier. What remains is the band's long stretch of records from the early 1990s to 2011, including Awake, Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory, Octavarium and Black Clouds & Silver Linings. It makes a handy way to follow how their sound grew across those years.
