Genesis Archive #2: 1976–1992 is a 2000 box set by progressive rock/pop band Genesis. This retrospective covers the band's history while Phil Collins was the lead singer.

The three discs consist of live recordings (mostly previously unreleased, with a few that had been B-sides), 12" remixes, a "work-in-progress" jam, non-album B-sides, and tracks from the Spot the Pigeon and 3×3 EPs. There was minor backlash from fans as "Match of the Day" and "Me and Virgil" were left off the set (although both had been released on CD before) due to Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford disliking the former track, while Phil Collins disliked the latter one. However, the band later changed their minds about the songs, and they were re-released on the Genesis 1976–1982 box set. Additionally, "Submarine" and "It's Yourself", neither of which had been released on CD before, were both edited—the former due to damage to the master tape, and the latter due to the band's preference. "Submarine" was later re-released in its original unedited form on the Genesis 1976–1982 box set.

Genesis Archive 2: 1976–1992 reached No. 103 in the UK.
