The Bee Gees is the first EP by the Bee Gees, released in September 1963 on the Leedon label only in Australia. The songs were recorded in February and June 1963 in Festival Studios in Sydney.

The EP cover features the three brothers identically dressed in white shirts with dark ties, dark trousers, black winklepicker shoes and tartan waistcoats. The waistcoats are augmented by 'BG' lettering on the left side, which would become a trademark of their television appearances over the next two years.

The A-side of the record featured the songs that made up the group's second single. The B-side did the same with the tracks from their first single.
