Wall of Voodoo (EP) is the debut EP by American new wave band Wall of Voodoo, released in 1980. It contains one of Wall of Voodoo's best-known songs, a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." The second half of the song features a guitar solo that quotes the theme to the 1966 film Our Man Flint.

In 1991, Restless Records issued the EP on CD for the first time, with the addition of live bonus tracks, under the title The Index Masters.
