Wanna Have Fun is an EP released by Cyndi Lauper in 1996. It was an inexpensively priced long-running EP issued mostly as a promotional tool for her album Sisters of Avalon, released the same year. It compiles songs from her previous albums, a combination of hits and non-charting album tracks. It was released in a normal jewel case and sold for around $5.99 American Dollars. It was produced by Sony Music Special Products.

The album was repackaged with the same track listing but completely different artwork in 2003, again as a promotional tool but this time for her album At Last. The original artwork was tame and featured Lauper looking very composed and adult, whereas the new packaging utilized images of her from early in her career with her trademark wild look and hair. Inexplicably there were two versions of the cover for the reissued edition; they use the same photographs but feature different lettering artwork.
