Forty Five E.P. is the debut E.P. from Madchester band the Happy Mondays, often incorrectly called the Delightful E.P. after its first track. It was released on Factory Records in 1985.

Notably, Vini Reilly (of The Durutti Column) was originally to produce the EP. After two hours in the studio, Reilly quit - he simply couldn't stand the band, and was replaced promptly by DJ Mike Pickering.
