The Platinum Collection is a 2006 Virgin Records compilation album written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield. It contains most of Oldfield's best known work, and some rare mixes of songs that had previously only been available as B-sides to singles.

The first two discs are entirely made up of content from Oldfield's Virgin albums, whereas some pieces on disc three are under licence from Warner.
