The Definitive Collection is a double CD compilation album of songs credited to Australian rock band Australian Crawl and the band's lead singer, James Reyne. The album was released in October 2002. The versions of “Lakeside”, “Unpublished Critics” and “Things Don’t Seem” are all previously unreleased versions.[1][2]

It follows the Australian Performing Right Association (APRA), naming "Reckless (Don't Be So)" at number nineteen as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, compiling the top 30 Australian songs.[3][4]

A 2DVD set was released under the same title in May 2004. The first disc featured 15 video clips of Australian Crawl songs, two live appearances, two television appearances and a number of extras including a rare recorded performance by Spiff Rouch (the earliest incarnation of Australian Crawl). The second disc features videos and live recordings of James Reyne, as a solo artist.[5]
