Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection is a reissue of American singer-songwriter Katy Perry's third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). It was released on March 23, 2012, by Capitol Records, nearly two years after the original album. Perry collaborated with producers including Tricky Stewart to refine leftover material from the recording sessions at Playback Recording Studio for Teenage Dream. The final product features three newly recorded songs, which incorporate pop styles previously seen in the original album, an acoustic version of "The One That Got Away" and three additional official remixes featuring Missy Elliott, Kanye West, and Tommie Sunshine.

Two singles were released from Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection. The lead single, "Part of Me", debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the second single, "Wide Awake", peaked at number two in the country. Both songs were eventually certified quintuple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The Kanye West remix of "E.T." was previously released as a single and peaked at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100.

Upon its release, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards the new songs' production but questioned the decision to reissue Teenage Dream. As an independent release, the reissue charted within the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States as well as the top 20 in Belgium, Finland, and France. It sold one million copies globally by the end of 2012 and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Denmark, and New Zealand. The record was further promoted with live performances during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards and the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, in addition to the autobiographical documentary film Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012).
