No Lunch is the second album by New York City glam punk band D Generation.[10][11] It was their first for Columbia Records.[12] The album was produced by Cars frontman Ric Ocasek.[13][14]

The album would prove to be D Generation's most critically acclaimed, with reviewers citing New York Dolls and Ramones as strong influences. "No Way Out," "She Stands There," and "Capital Offender" were taken from the record as singles, with promotional videos recorded and released for the first two.

Tracks 3, 5, 8 and 12 are re-recorded versions of songs that appeared on their previous album. The opening track, "Scorch," was a new recording of a song that had appeared on the 1995 Flipside: R.A.F.R. compilation album.
