"A Wild Pear" is a split EP from the Canadian garage rock band the Evaporators and American rock artist Andrew W.K. It was released on June 23, 2009, and features one original song and one cover by The Evaporators on side 1 and two covers by Andrew W.K. and an interview by Nardwuar the Human Serviette (lead singer and keyboardist of The Evaporators) with Andrew W.K. on side 2. The EP features cover art by cartoonist Mitch Clem.

The album title and cover art are a parody of the album "A Wild Pair", a promotional album released in 1968 by Coca-Cola and featuring The Guess Who and The Staccotos.
