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".[2]

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.[3]
