Culture Club is a box set of music by English band Culture Club, comprising four CDs. It was released in 2002 on the Virgin label. Some of the songs included are also Boy George solo songs.

The box set represents a history of the band with an array of singles, album tracks, demos, remixes, alternative versions, and previously unreleased songs. The inner artwork includes a 72-page glossy booklet, official photos, quotes, and notes from band members. All previously unreleased tracks have been remastered for this release.

The track entitled "Shirley Temple Moment" is a spoken-word track presenting the making of UK #3 hit "Victims", along with a bitter argument between band members while rehearsing it. The fourth CD is totally dedicated to remix versions of both previously released and unreleased tracks, collectively called 'The Drumheads Sessions'.
