Laurie is an EP by singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston. It was his second release with Seminal Twang in the United Kingdom.

Johnston was gaining popularity at the time and was soon to be picked up by his first major label, Atlantic Records, for the 1994 album Fun. Meanwhile, he had various minor releases, including an earlier EP released by Seminal Twang called Big Big World.

Mark Hartenbach, who wrote the track "Whiz Kid", approached Johnston to record the vocals. Johnston recorded a completely different song with the name "Wiz Kid" on 1988's Merry Christmas
