Last Train Home EP is an EP by singer/songwriter Ryan Star including four previously unreleased songs and two music videos. It reached No. 42 on Top Heatseekers chart. The title song was released as the first single off Star's major label debut 11:59. It was also featured on the soundtrack for the film P.S. I Love You (2007).

All songs were originally waiting to be released on 11:59, while the album release date kept being pushed back, from 'late 2008' eventually to August 2010.[2] “I wanted to make sure the fans had some music because they have been waiting a long time,” Star told Alternative Addiction about the reason for releasing the EP. "[..] just to have something out there right now."

All tracks on the EP included songs that had been on TV and movies.[3] "Brand New Day" was the main theme song for the FOX TV show Lie to Me.[4] "This Could Be the Year" was used on Super Bowl promo spots in 2009,[5] as well as the theme song for WWE pay-per-view event Survivor Series 2008. "Right Now" was picked up for promos for "The Philanthropist" on NBC, and it has also been used by ESPN.[6]
