"No, No, No" is a song recorded by American girl group Destiny's Child for their eponymous debut studio album (1998). It was written by Calvin Gaines, Mary Brown, Rob Fusari and Vincent Herbert, with production helmed by Fusari und Herbert. A sensual mid-tempo ballad blending contemporary R&B with "lush" 1970s soul, it was renamed "No, No, No (Part 1)" after musician Wyclef Jean was consulted to produce and appear on a remix of the song. Built around a hard-sliding bassline and sung in a staccato, rhythmic style, featuring co-production from Che Greene and Jerry Duplessis, it was titled "No, No, No (Part 2)".

"No, No, No" was released as Destiny's Child debut single on October 27, 1997, by Columbia Records, with both versions serviced to radio stations and music video networks. In the United States, the song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Elsewhere, "No, No, No" reached the top ten in the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

Darren Grant directed accompanying music videos for each version of "No, No, No". Part 1 features the group performing at a nightclub stage, while Part 2 begins with a choreographed dance in a large golden room. Destiny's Child performed "No, No, No" on several television shows and award show ceremonies, such as Teen Summit, The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show, and the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. It was performed during all of the group's concert tours, and is featured on their remix album This Is the Remix (2002), as well as their compilation albums #1's (2005) and Playlist: The Very Best of Destiny's Child (2012).
