Demonica is the first compilation album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth. The boxset includes demos plus previously unreleased and re-recorded songs from Behemoth's "old school" days when they still played traditional black metal.

The boxset is limited to 10,000 copies and comes packed as an exclusive A5 digibook/slipcase with a 44-page book including rare photos and lyrics. It is also known that a limited edition gatefold double vinyl pressing was released, which is limited to 525 copies. It was re-released as a digipack containing all the original liner notes and lyrics from the box set through the band's current Metal Blade label in 2011.
