Snakebite is the first official release by the British hard rock band Whitesnake. The original EP initially featured only four tracks and was released primarily in the UK in June 1978.
Snakebite was repackaged in September 1978 as an album for markets outside the UK, containing four extra studio tracks taken from David Coverdale's second solo album Northwinds. The EP sleeve is entitled David Coverdale's Whitesnake and features photographs of the live band in concert. All tracks from the original EP also were used as bonus tracks on the 2006 remaster of Whitesnake's debut studio album Trouble.
