Flight of the Wounded Locust is a six-song 7" EP by San Diego, California noise rock band The Locust. It was released in 2001 on Gold Standard Laboratories, and was their penultimate release on the label before moving to ANTI- (their final release being the split 7" with Melt-Banana). The CD version of the EP contains five tracks released in a split 7" with Arab On Radar. The EP was the band's final recording as a five-piece (after drummer David Astor left, replaced by then-guitarist Gabe Serbian) before changing to the current line-up of Pearson, Serbian, Karam and Bray, in time for the Melt-Banana split.

The EP was released on 7" clear vinyl, as well as a limited edition box set with four 7" records, all shaped like puzzle pieces and colored differently.
