The Last of the Mohicans is an EP by the English new wave band Bow Wow Wow, released in May 1982 by RCA Records. It was produced by Kenny Laguna of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts fame.

The Last of the Mohicans peaked at number 67 on the Billboard 200, Bow Wow Wow's highest entry on the chart.[6] The EP contains the band's biggest hit, a cover of the Strangeloves' "I Want Candy".

The cover photograph, taken by Andy Earl, depicts Bow Wow Wow recreating Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe by Édouard Manet, and caused outrage when it first appeared as the cover of the band's debut album See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!.[7]
