"No Mistakes" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his eighth studio album, Ye (2018). The song features vocals from Kid Cudi, Charlie Wilson and Caroline Shaw. It was produced by West, while co-produced by Che Pope and Shaw, with additional production from Mike Dean and Eric Danchick. The producers of the song, with the exception of Danchick, wrote it alongside Cyhi the Prynce, Malik Yusef, Kenneth Pershon and Bump J. Songwriting credit was added for Slick Rick due to the song sampling his work and as it samples music by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, Edwin Hawkins was credited as a songwriter. The song contains samples of "Children Get Together", performed by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, as well as "Hey Young World", performed by Slick Rick.

In the lyrics of the song, various self-righteous outbursts are delivered by West. "No Mistakes" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who often appreciated Wilson's vocals. Some praised the song's Slick Rick sample, while critical assessment of West's verse was less positive. It charted in the top 50 of the charts for Australia, Canada, Ireland, Slovakia, and the United States in 2018. The song has since been certified gold in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In June 2018, Kanye shared a video of North West singing its chorus. A version of the song with different lyrics was performed by the Sunday Service Choir during rehearsal in January of the following year.
