The Locust is the third release by The Locust. It was released on Gold Standard Laboratories in March 1997.

It is The Locust's first recording of the band that relies heavily on keyboards and synthesizers, combined with their power violence style, influenced mainly by Crossed Out. This is the sound for which The Locust has since become known.

In 2004, the EP was remastered and re-issued on 3" CD and 7" vinyl, and included two bonus tracks.
