"Sunburst and Snowblind" is an EP by the Scottish rock group Cocteau Twins, released on the 4AD label in September 1983. The EP features an extended version of "Sugar Hiccup" from the album "Head over Heels", as well as three other tracks. The title of the EP comes from the first line in the opening track of "Head Over Heels", "When Mama Was Moth."

The EP was later reissued as an appendage to the CD version of "Head Over Heels" in the United Kingdom and Canada . "From The Flagstones" and "Hitherto" appeared on "The Pink Opaque" (1985), and the entire album was featured on "The Box Set (Cocteau Twins)" (1991). All songs except "Because of Whirl-Jack" have been performed live. Unlike many Cocteau Twins songs, "Sugar Hiccup" and "From The Flagstones" have discernible English lyrics.
