The Tragically Hip EP is the first release from Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip.

Released in 1987, it did not make much of an impact on the Canadian music scene, and it is still not considered one of their best works. Singer Gordon Downie's lyrics and the music of the rest of the band would progress much further even by the time of their first full-length album; however, "Small Town Bringdown", "Last American Exit", and "All-Canadian Surf Club" do show some resemblance to later work.

The EP was produced by Ken Greer of Red Rider fame.
