Pacific Trim is an EP released by indie rock group Pavement on January 23, 1996 (see 1996 in music). It was recorded on short notice to coincide with the band's Australian tour. The recording only features Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West - the session had actually been booked for a Silver Jews recording, but David Berman became unavailable at the last minute and the group couldn't afford to waste the studio time [1][2]. The CD release contained three tracks with a fourth song, "I Love Perth", included only on the vinyl edition. AMG concludes that the EP "isn't much more than a throwaway, but it is an extremely enjoyable one".

Although the EP is out of print, all four songs are available on the 2CD set Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition.
