{{Short description|DC Comics publishing line}}

DC Compendium is a line of standard-size, softcover editions published by DC Comics since 2020, reprinting comics previously printed in single issue format. The line focuses on chronological reprints of the earliest years of stories featuring the company's lesser-known characters like Animal Man and Starman, as well as series and characters originally published under some of DC Comic's imprints like Vertigo Comics and WildStorm Productions.
