Ecstasy is an EP by My Bloody Valentine, released in an edition of 3,000 copies in November 1987. It was their last material recorded for Lazy Records, and followed the "bubblegum pop with buzzsaw guitars" formula of their earlier releases for the label, shifting away from their earlier sound.[2] Ecstasy entered the UK indie album chart in December 1987, spending four weeks on the chart and peaking at number 12.[3]

The contents of the LP were later combined with the group's previous release, Strawberry Wine, and reissued as the album Ecstasy and Wine.
