Four Light Years was a boxed set of three studio albums by Electric Light Orchestra. It was released in 1980 by Jet Records.

The box contained three albums: A New World Record (1976), the double album Out of the Blue (1977), and Discovery (1979). Each album was a large commercial success in its own right, but unlike Three Light Years did not chart as a combined collection on the UK Albums Chart.

The set was so-titled because it covered four years, contained four vinyl records, and was a sequel to Three Light Years (1978). A proposed Across the Border EP was meant to promote the box set but was withdrawn.
