Singles Box is a compilation album by The Clash. Included within is all the singles that they released in the UK (meaning no single for "Train in Vain (Stand by Me)", their first top 40 single in America), with the single mixes and edits with the B-sides released, and also containing B-sides from different parts of the world.

The discs are packaged in a sleeve which reproduces the design of the original single, and they come in a protective sleeve. The CDs themselves are designed to look like vinyl records, with a textured top to look like a record with grooves and the data side being black, and a reproduction of the record label in the center of the disc.
