Ain't Complaining is the eighteenth studio album by British rock band Status Quo. Initially released on the Vertigo label on 13 June 1988, it was the group's first album on that label to fall short of the UK Top 10, reaching no higher than its entry position of No. 12. It spawned three singles, namely the title track, the ballad "Who Gets the Love?", and the only Top 10 hit among them, the jaunty "Burning Bridges", which essentially replicated the melody of the traditional folk song "Darby Kelly" within its distinctive instrumental breaks, without crediting it as such. John Edwards and Jeff Rich contributed compositions for the first time since they had joined Status Quo.

An unusual move by Status Quo on this album was the use and endorsement of Charvel guitars.
