Persia is the fourth EP by the Australian psychedelic rock band The Church, released in August 1984. The follow-up to February 1984's Remote Luxury, Persia continues in a similar stylistic vein and featured the band composition "Shadow Cabinet."
The material was collected for international release on the Remote Luxury compilation album later in 1984.
In 2001, EMI Australia released the compilation album Sing-Songs//Remote Luxury//Persia, which contained remastered versions of all the tracks from the EP in their original running order.
