"Paint Box" is a song by psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, written and sung by keyboardist Rick Wright. It was first released in 1967 as the B-side to the single "Apples and Oranges".

"Paint Box" was later included on the compilation album "Relics" as "Paintbox", as stereo-mix and in the third disc of the release of the of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, also named "Paintbox".
