MoeJadKateBarry is a 1987 EP by Moe Tucker. The title refers to Tucker and the members of her backing band. It's composed of a mixture of re-recordings of recently released outtakes from The Velvet Underground's mid years (1967-1968), covers of songs from the 1950s-1960s, (notably a 1967 song featuring writing from Velvet Underground members John Cale and Lou Reed), and a singular new composition.

Tucker is credited as a co-writer on 3 of the EPs 5 tracks, and the featured players are all members of Half Japanese.
