The Six Pack is the title of the collection of seven-inch singles released by rock group The Police in 1980.

The pack, which came in a PVC folder contained the first five A&M singles by the band, namely "Roxanne", "Can't Stand Losing You", "So Lonely", "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon", plus a mono version of "The Bed's Too Big Without You", which was previously unreleased. This latter song was chosen for promotional purposes for TV and radio airplay, and often regarded as the group's latest single upon release of the set. The records in the pack were all produced on blue vinyl in picture covers with specially adapted labels which featured the heads of the band, rather than the original "A&M" logo. Each single was accompanied by a special picture card.

The release reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1980.^[1] Due to changes in chart rules, this set would no longer be eligible for inclusion on the singles chart.
