Hell Hath No Fury is the second studio album by hip hop duo Clipse. The album was released on November 28, 2006 in the United States, on Re-Up, Star Trak and Jive. Recording sessions for the album took place over a period of several years, and suffered numerous delays prior to release. Production was handled by The Neptunes.

Following the release of their debut studio album, Lord Willin', brothers Gene and Terrence Thornton began working on the album in late 2003, but were forced to delay development when several artists signed to Arista Records were dissolved into sister label Jive, as part of a larger merger between Sony Music Entertainment and BMG. This resulted in Star Trak moving to Interscope Records, signing a new distribution deal. Due to contractual requirements, Clipse were forced to remain with Jive. Upon completion of the album, the duo became increasingly frustrated with the label, as Jive was in favor of more pop-orientated acts. Clipse eventually requested a formal release from their contract with the label, which was denied. Clipse then sued Jive, eventually reaching a settlement on May 9, 2006.

Hell Hath No Fury landed at #14 on the Billboard 200 with 78,000 copies sold in the first week. Two singles were released prior to the album, "Mr. Me Too" and "Wamp Wamp (What It Do)", both of which attained moderate chart success.

The material on Hell Hath No Fury is of a much darker tone than Clipse's debut album, due to the group's problematic relationship with Jive Records. From an interview with AllHipHop, in July 2006:
