ExtendedancEPlay is a four-track EP album by British rock band Dire Straits, released in 1983. It is also referred to as the "Twisting by the Pool EP", after its first track.

The EP is highly uncharacteristic of Dire Straits' usual slow and subdued song styles, as most of the tracks have a jazz and/or swing feel with an upbeat tempo.

In its original UK configuration, this EP only contained three tracks. Added to the North American release was the 1982 UK B-side (and "Love over Gold" outtake) "Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-Shirts".

Although never released alone, the track "Twisting by the Pool" charted as a single.
