The Box je set petih zgoščenk in enega DVD-ja s skladbami in posnetki iz celotne kariere popularne ameriške skupine Chicago, ki je leta 2003 izšel pri založbi Rhino Records. Set je avtorizirala skupina, ki je tudi sodelovala pri izbiranju materiala iz celotnega kataloga skupine.

Set vsebuje skladbe z vsakega studijskega albuma skupine, vse od debitantskega albuma Chicago Transit Authority, pa vse do posnetkov iz konca 90. let ter nekaj redkih posnetkov, med drugimi tri skladbe s takrat še neizdanega albuma Stone of Sisyphus, ki je bil predviden za izdajo leta 1993. V set je vključen vsak singel, ki se je uvrstil na lestvico, razen alternativne verzije skladbe »25 or 6 to 4« iz leta 1986.

Dodatni DVD vsebuje redke žive posnetke skupine iz leta 1972 in promocijski material albuma Chicago 13. V setu je tudi knjižica z analizo vsake skladbe, promocijskimi fotografijami, eseji in variacijami logotipa skupine.

Set se ni uvrstil ne na ameriško, ne na britansko lestvico.
