Quadrastate is a mini-album by the British electronic music group 808 State. It was released in July 1989 through Creed Records. It contains the original version of "Pacific State", one of the most popular tracks by 808 State, which later made the band famous after extended airplay on BBC Radio 1 led to the band being signed to major label ZTT Records.

The record entered the Top Dance Albums chart at number 10 on 9 September 1989, and reached number 1 on 4 November.

On 19 May 2008, the British Rephlex Records label re-released the record in double vinyl and CD format.

The re-issued version featured seven additional bonus tracks not included in the original. In addition, there were some alterations to the originally released version, including editing to the track "106".
