The Diamond Collection is the first compilation album by American rapper and singer Post Malone. It was released through Republic and Mercury Records on April 21, 2023. The album features guest appearances from Quavo, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign, Swae Lee, Young Thug, Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott, Doja Cat, and the Weeknd as well as production from Malone himself, Rex Kudo, Metro Boomin, Frank Dukes, Louis Bell, Illangelo, Tank God, Carter Lang, & Andrew Watt. The album was released to celebrate Malone becoming the artist with the most diamond-certified singles by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It contains all the singles that were certified diamond from his first three studio albums, Stoney (2016), Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), and Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), as well as the lead single "Chemical" from his fifth studio album Austin (2023).[1]

On July 21, 2023, the compilation was re-released as a deluxe edition with nine additional songs that were not diamond certified at the time of release but still popular, which also included songs from his previous studio album Twelve Carat Toothache (2022). The deluxe edition of the compilation was announced on October 3, 2023, to be getting its first vinyl release for Record Store Day Black Friday 2023.[2]
