No, No, No is the debut album by Jamaican reggae singer Dawn Penn, released in 1994. The album was released nearly 30 years after Penn embarked on a recording career, following up the worldwide success of her single "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" in 1994. The album, however, was met with a modest chart success.

Critical reception
Alex Henderson from AllMusic complimented No, No, No as "a respectable, decent effort", remarking that songs like "I'll Do It Again" and "Samfi Boy" "has a strong urban contemporary flavor".[5] Everett True from Melody Maker viewed it as "[an] undemanding yet supremely satisfying album", praising the lead single, "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)", as well as "a gorgeous reading" of "I Want a Love I Can See" and "an uptempo" "The First Cut Is the Deepest".[3]
