Verve is the first studio release by English rock band The Verve, released in December 1992 on Vernon Yard Recordings in the United States and Hut Records in the United Kingdom.

The two singles from the EP would reappear on the B-side compilation No Come Down ("Gravity Grave") and the singles compilation The Singles 92–98 ("Gravity Grave" and "She's a Superstar").
