The Roxbox!: A Collection of Roxette's Greatest Songs is the second box set compilation by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released exclusively in Australia on 6 February 2015 by Roxette Recordings and Parlophone. The set was issued in conjunction with the final Australian leg of The Neverending World Tour, which took place the same month the compilation was released.{{cite web |url=http://www.noise11.com/news/roxette-to-release-the-roxbox-4cd-set-20150113 |title=Roxette To Release The Roxbox 4CD Set |author=Paul Cashmere |author-link=Paul Cashmere |website=Noise11| date=13 January 2015 |accessdate=20 May 2019}}
The Roxbox! is a shortened and updated version of the duo's 2006 box set The Rox Box/Roxette 86–06. Like its predecessor, the set contains the majority of the duo's greatest hits, as well as assorted b-sides, demos and album tracks, although The Roxbox! was updated to include several tracks from the duo's proceeding albums, Charm School (2011) and Travelling (2012), along with two non-album remixes created by Bassflow: "Speak to Me" and "The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye". This set also omits the two DVDs contained on The Rox Box.{{cite AV media notes|title=The RoxBox!: A Collection of Roxette's Greatest Songs|others=Roxette|year=2015|type=CD liner notes|publisher=Parlophone|id=50541 965051–2 7}}
