"Don't Look Back" is a song by British pop-rock band Fine Young Cannibals.

It was released as the third single from the band's 1988 album The Raw & the Cooked.

Written by lead vocalist Roland Gift and bassist David Steele, the lyrics of "Don't Look Back" are mostly pessimistic, and depict someone who tries desperately to leave their difficult past behind them without looking back.
