Genesis Archive 1967-75 is a 1998 boxed set by veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis.

This retrospective set covers the band's formative history when Peter Gabriel was lead singer. The first two of the four discs consist of a previously unreleased live recording of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from 1975. Some of Peter Gabriel's vocals on the live recordings of this box set were re-recorded by the singer in 1998 due to technical problems with the recording as well as elaborate costumes that often muffled his voice.^{[citation needed]} Guitarist Steve Hackett re-recorded some guitar parts as well.^{[citation needed]}

In addition, Genesis Archive 1967-75 includes some performances from an unreleased live concert from London's Rainbow Theatre in 1973, demos, rare B-Sides and BBC recordings in 1970. All 52 songs had been previously unreleased and are in reverse chronological order.

A well-received package, Genesis Archive 1967-75 reached #35 in the UK.
