The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964–1970) is the third box set of Simon & Garfunkel recordings, released in 2001 by Columbia Records. This 5-CD set contains all of their studio albums from 1964 to 1970. The CDs are packaged in miniature recreations of the original LP jackets, and an annotated booklet is also included.

The Columbia Studio Recordings succeeded the box sets Collected Works (1981) and Old Friends (1997). All five discs contain several bonus tracks of demos, alternate takes, single B-sides, unissued outtakes and non-album songs, some of which were previously issued on Old Friends.
