Four Winds is an EP by the indie rock band Bright Eyes, that was released on March 6, 2007. The title track is the first single from their upcoming album Cassadaga. The other 5 tracks are exclusive b-sides from the 2006 recording sessions. It is marketed as being "quietly enchanting" and including "a wandering country charm and all of the story-telling seductiveness of earlier work."[1]

On January 22, 2007, it was leaked onto the internet. The track "Smoke Without Fire" features guest vocals and a style of singer-songwriter M. Ward.
