The Acoustic EP is the second widely-distributed release by the punk band Against Me!. No tracks on the album contain any electric instruments or drums, only an acoustic guitar and an acoustic bass. The original, vinyl version of the ep only had four tracks, but two extra songs were included on the CD version when it surfaced almost two years later. Electric versions of several of the songs would reappear on the band's celebrated full-length Reinventing Axl Rose.

Interestingly, this EP was never officially titled; the words "Acoustic EP" do not appear anywhere on the album or in the liner notes. In a manner similar to that of The Beatles's White Album, it is technically self-titled, but is nearly always referred to as The Acoustic EP, including on the band's own website.
