J'ouvert is an EP by rapper Wyclef Jean. It was released on February 3, 2017, and features the songs "Hendrix", "If I Was President 2016", "The Ring", and "I Swear".

Wyclef created the songs for the EP to be a preview for his upcoming album The Carnival Vol. III. Clef also announced that he wanted the EP to be released after Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant, and reintroduced the character Aya Bungao.

The third single, "I Swear" featuring Young Thug, had a music video released on December 8, 2016.
