My Iron Lung is the third EP by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 26 September 1994 by Parlophone Records in the UK and by Capitol Records in the US. It was produced by Radiohead, John Leckie and Nigel Godrich. It marked Radiohead's first collaborations with Godrich and the artist Stanley Donwood, who have worked on every Radiohead release since.

Radiohead recorded most of the songs during the sessions for their second album, The Bends, released the following year. The EP consists of the Bends song "My Iron Lung" plus several non-album tracks. Radiohead wrote "My Iron Lung" in response to the success of their debut single, "Creep" (1992). Unsatisfied with the version recorded at RAK Studios, they used an edited performance recorded in May 1994 at the London Astoria.

Retrospective reviews of My Iron Lung described it as a growth in Radiohead's songwriting. The song "My Iron Lung" was also released as a single, and reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.
