No Lookin' Back is a solo studio album by the singer-songwriter Michael McDonald, former member of the Doobie Brothers. The album was released in mid 1985, on Warner Bros. For the first time, he co-produced, as well as wrote or co-wrote all the songs. It features contributions by some prolific session musicians, including Eagles' guitarist, Joe Walsh, Toto's drummer Jeff Porcaro as well as bassists Willie Weeks, and Nathan East.

The album was re-released one year later in 1986 with different album cover artwork, along with the inclusion of the hit single "Sweet Freedom" from the soundtrack of the Gregory Hines/Billy Crystal movie Running Scared.
