A wall tile removing tool comprises a shank portion terminating at the rear thereof in a handle portion and terminating at the front thereof in a thin, blade-like cutting portion of a thickness to fit loosely between a tile and wall surface when it extends parallel to the wall surface. The blade-like cutting portion extends at an angle from the shank portion so that the shank and handle portions of said tool are spaced substantially from the wall surface while the blade-like cutting portion extends parallel to the rear surface of the tile and said wall surface.
