The Pictet Collection is a private art collection established by the Pictet financial group since 2004. It is composed of paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, installations and videos made by artists born in or having a strong cultural link with Switzerland. In 2021, the collection had over 900 works of art. Loa Haagen Pictet has been the curator of the Collection since 2015.

Before the creation of its collection, the Pictet Group had a limited number of works of art in its offices, mainly dating from the nineteenth century. In 2004, the group began building up a full-fledged art collection, the initial aim of which was to decorate its new headquarters in the Acacias district in Geneva. The idea was to assemble a collection of works of art dating from the founding of the Pictet bank (1805) to the present day, visible on a daily basis to the bank's employees and clients. The Pictet Collection is on display at the Group's headquarters in Geneva, as well as in its offices in Switzerland and abroad, including Lausanne, Zurich, London, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, Montreal, Hong Kong and Singapore. In 2018, the Collection also became available to the general public in digital form by being freely searchable on the collection's website. This digital referencing also simplifies the identification of works for cultural institutions wishing to make a loan request. The pieces are regularly loaned to museums in Switzerland and abroad. The  in Lausanne devoted an exhibition to  in 2021, borrowing his works from the Collection. The Collection is growing at a steady pace, and in a variety of fields: paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, but also in situ installations, architectural creations and video works. An important part of the Collection is dedicated to contemporary art. The first works acquired by the Pictet Group in 2004 were paintings from the twentieth century by Cuno Amiet. The collection had 600 works in 2016, 650 in 2017, 780 in 2018, 850 in 2020 and over 900 in 2021, two-thirds of which are the work of contemporary artists. Artists
