Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023), or simply Papercuts, is the first greatest hits album by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released on April 12, 2024, through Warner Records, following the Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition (2023).

On June 28, 2024, the instrumental version of the album was released with the same track listing.

Background The album spans the band's best-selling singles from 2000 to 2023 and was announced alongside the release of the song "Friendly Fire" on February 23, 2024, which appears as the final track and had been recorded during the One More Light (2017) sessions. Papercuts also includes the official release of the song "Qwerty", which first appeared on the band's 2006 fanclub-exclusive EP, LP Underground 6.0. It features material from six of Linkin Park's seven studio albums released during Bennington's lifetime; The Hunting Party (2014) did not feature any songs on the release.
