"Verve EP" is the first studio release by English rock band The Verve. The EP was released in December 1992 on Vernon Yard Recordings in the United States and Hut Records in the United Kingdom. With a length of over 31 minutes, the EP is closer in relation to a full-length album release. It also features songs that never appeared on another studio release by The Verve. The two singles from the EP would reappear on the B-side compilation "No Come Down" ("Gravity Grave") and the singles compilation "" ("Gravity Grave" and "She's a Superstar").

The style of the EP is heavily shoegazing, the forerunner to the later musical genre, Britpop. Nick McCabe's guitar work is prominent throughout the album, whether on distortion and up front ("She's a Superstar") or on clean guitar and in the background ("Man Called Sun").
