Flight of the Wounded Locust is a 7-inch EP by American noise rock band The Locust. It was released in 2001 on Gold Standard Laboratories. Flight of the Wounded Locust was also the band's final recording as a five-piece (after which drummer David Astor left and was replaced by then-guitarist Gabe Serbian).

The EP was released on 7-inch clear vinyl, CD, and as a limited edition box set with four 7-inch records, all shaped like puzzle pieces and colored differently. The CD and 4×7″ versions of the EP contain five bonus tracks released on a split 7-inch with Arab on Radar.
