Cibo Matto is the debut EP by Cibo Matto released in 1995.
Three tracks from this release were later included in the group's debut full-length album with slightly different arrangements (substantially in the case of "Know Your Chicken") and cleaner, better-produced vocal takes. The EP also features a cover of alternative rock band Soundgarden's 1994 song "Black Hole Sun", which Allmusic describes as "a wonderfully loopy cover... rearranged like a lounge favorite and sung in French".{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/cibo-matto-ep-r400023|title=Cibo Matto (EP) - Cibo Matto|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=September 27, 2011}}
The final track, the instrumental "Crumbs" would later appear on the group's second EP, 1997's Super Relax.
In Japan the album sold 20,000 copies.{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bw0EAAAAMBAJ&q=cibo+matto+album+sales&pg=PA13 |title = Billboard|date = May 1999}}
