Racer-X is the third EP by American post-hardcore band Big Black. It was released by Homestead Records in 1985 and reissued by Touch and Go Records in 1992.
Racer-X was the first of Big Black's recordings to cement their instrumental lineup of two guitarists, one bassist, and a Roland TR-606 drum machine. It was the final Big Black release to feature bassist Jeff Pezzati, who left to dedicate more time to his primary band Naked Raygun.
