The Box is a five-CD/one DVD career-spanning box set by the popular American group Chicago, compiled and released by Rhino Records in 2003. The set was authorized by the band, who helped choose material from their entire back catalogue.

The box includes material from every studio album released by the band since its 1969 debut, Chicago Transit Authority, to its late 1990s recordings, along with a few rarities, notably three songs from the then-unreleased 1993 Stone of Sisyphus project. Every charting single from 1969 to 2003 is included, with the exception of the 1986 remake of the band's earlier hit, "25 or 6 to 4."

An additional DVD features rare live recordings from 1972 and promotional material for 1979's Chicago 13. The set also includes a booklet of additional material featuring track-by-track analysis, promotional photos, essays and variations on the familiar Chicago logo.

The set did not chart in the US or the UK.
