Cops are looking for the un-patriotic – and not very creative -- neighborhood wall-scrawler who commented on one of the worst days in the city’s history with the words “F—K 9-11.”

The mean-spirited missive reportedly popped up on a wall on South 5th Street between Bedford Avenue and Berry Street on the night of July 28, outraged residents said.

It was found on a heavily tagged battlement bordering an assemblage of manufacturing buildings near the Williamsburg Bridge.

Whoever left the message was dedicated to his cause — he had to find his way around a fence topped with razor wire to get to the wall, officials said.

Investigators were trying to track down the tagger as this paper went to press.

" I am not sure how this tagger is "un-patriotic." If he (or she) is talking about the same 9/11 on which thousands of people were killed (including 3 friends of mine at the WTC in NYC) on what was surely one of the most devastating days in American history, then F**k 9/11 indeed. "
