"Peppermint Pig" is an EP by the Scottish rock group Cocteau Twins, released on 4AD records in March 1983. In its original release, limited edition 7-inch single featured "Peppermint Pig" and "Laugh Lines". Twelve-inch EP included extended mix of "Peppermint Pig" and two more songs: "Laugh Lines" and "Hazel".

This EP marked the only time that the Cocteau Twins used an outside producer for one of their recordings, with production handled by Alan Rankine of the Associates. The band was dissatisfied with the results. Robin Guthrie described the EP as "sh-t" in a 1983 interview with "Sounds", claiming it was "a bad mixture—bad song, bad producer...bad band". [http://www.cocteautwins.com/html/history/history02.html] Liz Fraser simply described the material as "all we had at the time". Musically, the material is similar to the previous release, the EP Lullabies. It was the last release to feature original bass player Will Heggie.

An alternate version of "Hazel" was recorded for a Peel Session, and appears on the band's "BBC Sessions" album as well as on some CD reissues of "Garlands".

The "Peppermint Pig" EP was re-released in CD format in 1991 as part of The Box Set. It contained both mixes of the title track. 7-inch version of "Peppermint Pig" and additional tracks Laugh Lines" and "Hazel" was a part of the Lullabies to Violaine compilation (2005).
