No Brakes is the second solo album by British musician John Waite, released in 1984. It features Waite's biggest hit single "Missing You" which hit number 1 on the US Billboard's Album Rock Tracks and the Billboard Hot 100. No Brakes was certified Gold in September 1984 – three weeks prior to breaking into the Top 10 of Billboard's album chart.

The album's second single, "Tears", a cover of a song originally recorded by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss for his 1982 album Let Me Rock You, charted at number 8 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart and number 37 on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
