Don't Stop is the twenty-second studio album by English rock band Status Quo. A covers album, it includes guest appearances from Tessa Niles on tracks 6 and 14, The Beach Boys on track 1, Brian May of Queen on track 7 and Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span on track 15.

"Fun, Fun, Fun", "When You Walk In The Room", "Don't Stop" and "All Around My Hat" were all released as singles, although only the first of these reached the British Top 30. However, the album entered the chart at No. 2 in the first week of a three-month stay, making it the band's highest-charting studio album of the 1990s, and tying with the 1990 greatest hits album Rocking All Over The Years (which also reached No. 2) as their highest-charting overall album of that decade.
