ExtendedancEPlay is a four-track EP album by British rock band Dire Straits. 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 stylings, 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".
