No Control is the fourth studio album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on November 2, 1989, through Epitaph Records.

Although Suffer was not a commercial success, the band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and critical acclaim with that album[7] and it managed to sell 4,000 copies.
