"Hella Good" is a single by rock band No Doubt, taken from the album Rock Steady. It marked the band's first (and so far, only) collaboration with The Neptunes. It was also featured on No Doubt's album The Singles 1992-2003.

The song peaked at number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2] The band opened every show on that fall's "Rock Steady" tour with the song.

The music video was directed by Mark Romanek. It features the band in a black and white thriller-type of video, as the band plays the part of treasure divers. They roam the sewers looking for goods, and waterjet around the harbor. It also features brief clips of the video game Jet Set Radio Future.
