The Collection is a 2012 American action horror film directed by Marcus Dunstan and co-written with Patrick Melton, and starring Josh Stewart, Emma Fitzpatrick, Lee Tergesen and Christopher McDonald. It is a sequel to the 2009 film, The Collector. The story follows a young woman who gets captured by The Collector, while Arkin O'Brien (Stewart) escapes but is recruited shortly after by a group of mercenaries whose mission is to save her at the Collector's base.

The Collection was released by LD Entertainment on November 30, 2012. It grossed $9.9 million against a $10 million budget and received negative reviews from critics. A third film entered production in 2019, but was stalled shortly after.
