Snakedrill is an EP by English rock band Wire. It was released in 1986. It was the first release after the band's five-year hiatus, and foreshadows their extensive use of electronic instrumentation on following albums, particularly on "A Serious of Snakes", which contains multiple layered synth and keyboard parts.

The entire EP is now included in the form of bonus tracks on The Ideal Copy.
