Beyoncé: Platinum Edition is the first box set by American singer Beyoncé, released on November 24, 2014, by Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. A reissue of her fifth studio album Beyoncé (2013), it was released in recognition of its one-year anniversary and is packaged with the audio and visual discs from the original record. The project additionally includes another CD including two newly recorded songs and four previously-released remixes, and a second DVD with ten live performances filmed during The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour (2013–14).

Her fourth EP, titled Beyoncé: More Only was digitally released alongside the box set, offering the newly released material as an individual collection. The EP debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200, selling 43,000 copies in its first week, but also garnered an additional 28,000 in album equivalent units. The release was promoted with the release of "7/11" which was sent to urban contemporary radio in the United States as the lead single from the box set on November 25, 2014.

Beyoncé unexpectedly released her self-titled fifth studio album on December 13, 2013, without prior announcement. The record was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with three-day sales of 617,000 copies, and remained at the summit of the chart for three consecutive weeks. Additionally, the release has sold five million copies as of November 2014. Reports of a follow-up record first surfaced in November 2014, at which time it was widely speculated that Beyoncé would release a second volume of the project on November 25 without prior promotion. After that it was confirmed that a reportedly-leaked track listing for the record was "completely made up".Parkwood Entertainment instead announced that Beyoncé would be reissued in an expanded four-disc box set subtitled the Platinum Edition.
