Kate Bush is an eponymous five-song 12" EP. It was released by EMI America in the United States to promote Kate Bush, who was relatively unknown there at that time. It peaked at {{thinspace|No.|148}} in the US Billboard Pop Albums chart.{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3805|pure_url=yes}} |title=allmusic – Kate Bush – Billboard Albums |accessdate=7 February 2009}} The EP was also released in Canada where she was well known; the Canadian released featured an extra song.

The cover depicts Bush in the warrior costume she sports in the music video for "Babooshka."

Bush commented on the release: "Quite honestly, I don't think I would have chosen those five. It has very much to do with the record company and what they see a market for. I did want Sat In Your Lap to be on there. It's also quite nice to get the French song on there 'cause I quite like that."{{cite web|url=http://gaffa.org/cloud/music/kate_bush_mini_lp_.html|title=Kate Bush in her own words|accessdate=2011-05-05}}
