The term "overseas service station" (Chinese: 海外服务站; pinyin: hǎiwài fúwù zhàn) and the associated phrase, "Overseas 110" or "110 Overseas" (Chinese: 海外110; pinyin: hǎiwài yāoyāolíng; lit. 'abroad 110'; alluding to China's emergency number for the police, 110), refer to various extralegal offices established by China's Ministry of Public Security and its public security bureaus in other countries.

In 2022, human rights group Safeguard Defenders published a report finding that the Chinese government illegally used these offices to intimidate Chinese dissidents and criminal suspects abroad and to pressure them to return to China. The report led to investigations of the stations by the governments of several countries.
