Doubt was the second album by the British band Jesus Jones, released in 1991. The album reached #25 in the US and topped the UK chart, and "Real Real Real", "Right Here, Right Now", "International Bright Young Thing", "Who? Where? Why?" and "Welcome Back Victoria" were released as singles to promote it.

According to the album booklet, Doubt was recorded in seven days in May 1990, but "the mixing took a bit longer". While the album had been finished in the spring of 1990, its release was delayed until the beginning of 1991 by the band's label Food Records.

There is a message in the booklet which warns people of "possible damage to musical equipment". It reads:

Warning This album contains extreme sounds which could damage musical equipment when played at high volume

This message is believed to refer to the song "Stripped", which was not played live until their performance at the Woolley Festival in their native Bradford-on-Avon in 2014 because, as he stated on stage at the time, it was "unlistenable". The booklet also gives small descriptions to the songs. For example, "I'm Burning" is subtitled "A re-occurrence of the B-side that was too good syndrome". The booklet also claims Doubt to be inspired by both legal and pirate radio stations in London.

Jesus Jones have said the songs on the album are primarily about hope, optimism, and enjoying everything around you.
