Cryptic Collection is a compilation album by American hip hop duo Twiztid. Released on November 13, 2000, it is the first in the Cryptic Collection series, followed by Cryptic Collection Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, each containing rare tracks not available on regular releases.[1]

Cryptic Collection was later reissued with a new cover, intending to combine the original two, with the shadow representing the serial killaz cover.
