Crazy Diamond is a 1993 triple-CD boxed set of Syd Barrett's two 1970 albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, and Opel, an out-takes compilation from 1988. All discs are further augmented by various alternate takes. The box set is packaged in a 6 x 12 inch longbox, and also contains a 24 page booklet.

Simultaneously with this release, EMI reissued The Madcap Laughs, Barrett and Opel separately as well, along with the new bonus tracks of alternate takes.

The album is named after Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a composition by Pink Floyd about and dedicated to Barrett, who led the band during its earlier years.

Two unreleased Syd Barrett songs with Pink Floyd, "Sceam Thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man," were planned to be released on "Opel," but the releases of those two songs were canceled by Pink Floyd.
