Betrayal, Fear, Anger, Hatred is the first EP by the Canadian punk rock band NoMeansNo. The tracks from the EP were later included on the CD reissue of the band's debut album Mama.[1] The EP was described by Trouser Press as a "statement of purpose".[2] At this stage the band was still a duo of Rob and John Wright.[3] The EP was described by Maximumrocknroll as "4 great songs".[4] The tracks were described by Allmusic's Laurie Mercer as "relatively straightforward", but commented on "Forget Your Life"'s contrast between the song's apparently nihilistic lyric but positive and upbeat sentiment.[1]

The EP was reissued in 1991 on Wrong Records.[5]
