Pacific Oceania[1][2] (abbreviated to POC) is the name given to the group of island countries and territories in the Southern and Western Pacific Ocean that compete collectively as one country in both the Davis Cup (men) and Billie Jean King Cup (women) international tennis tournaments. Pacific Oceania is governed by the Oceania Tennis Federation.

As some Pacific Ocean countries and territories were deemed too small or too underdeveloped to have their own national teams, Pacific Oceania was established in 1995, with Pacific Oceania men's and women's teams first participating in the 1995 editions of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup, respectively.
