"Live Rare Remix Box" is a compilation box set released by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1994. It contains three CDs, which are named individually Live, Rare and Remix. The live, rare, and remix tracks in question are essentially the collected B-sides from all five singles taken from the band's hugely successful 1991 "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" album.

Despite the success of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", guitarist John Frusciante's 1992 departure from the band left them struggling through a string of guitarists until they recruited former Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro in 1993. Although the band recorded the instrumental tracks for their then forthcoming "One Hot Minute" album in 1994, singer Anthony Kiedis once more relapsed into drug use in late 1993 which delayed his recording of the vocal tracks until 1995, when the album was finally released. As a result of such delays, it is likely that the "Live Rare Remix Box" release was used as a stop-gap to appease fans until the band finally finished and released "One Hot Minute" after a four-year recording gap.
