"Do Not Disturb" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It was written and produced by the production duo of Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. Originally released as a stand-alone single in 1985, the track was later added to Bananarama's third album True Confessions, which was issued by London Records a year later. "Do Not Disturb" was released in the UK, Australia, Germany, and Japan but only charted in the UK.

Bananarama didn't like the song. Group member Keren Woodward later said of the True Confessions album, "It is all our ideas, it is what we wanted to sound like and sing about. Except 'Do Not Disturb' which Swain and Jolley wrote and which we don't think is very good. That's why there are eleven songs on the LP instead of ten".[2] When released, "Do Not Disturb" was a mid-charting single, peaking at number thirty-one.

The single was also issued as three separate shaped picture discs. Each disc featured a member of the group, accompanied by a plinth to display them upon.
