1992—2002 is a double disc compilation album by Underworld, released 3 November 2003 on JBO. This album was released in conjunction with the single, "Born Slippy .NUXX 2003".

This compilation marked the first album appearances of "Big Mouth" (listed here as "Bigmouth"), "Dirty", "Rez" and "Spikee"; all of which had previously only been available as singles. Furthermore, it contained some of their more popular soundtrack pieces, including "Dark & Long (Dark Train)" and "Born Slippy .NUXX", both used in the film Trainspotting; "Rez", as used in Vanilla Sky; "Cowgirl" from Hackers; "Moaner" from Batman & Robin; and "8 Ball", which was featured in The Beach. The original versions of "Dark & Long" and "Born Slippy" were not included in the compilation.

The version of "Born Slippy .NUXX" included on this album is an exclusive edit of the song, while "Push Upstairs" is an extended mix. The full version of "Moaner" is also included. A promotional version of 1992-2002 also included the unedited version of "Dirty" and a previously unreleased extended version of "Jumbo", which would later appear on 1992-2012 The Anthology.

Tim Booth of James has ranked it among his favourite albums.[9]
