"EBX" is the title given to retrospective box sets from Erasure, released in the UK by Mute Records in 2000 and 2001. Four volumes of "EBX" have been released.

Each set presents, in chronological order, five singles (in each set) released by Erasure, beginning with their debut in 1986 up to 1992 (twenty singles in all). Although cover art was altered (specifically for the sets), the tracklistings represent all music originally found on the UK versions of their singles (including all remixes and B-sides, found on cassette and CD singles, as well as 12 inch singles).

The first four box sets are currently out of print.
