"It Ain't No Crime" is a song written Tom Shapiro, Tony Martin and Mark Nesler, and recorded by American country music artist Joe Nichols. It was released in December 2007 as the second and final single from his CD Real Things. It peaked at number 16 on the U.S. country chart and at number 5 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.

The song's narrator is a man who is trying to relax, but finds himself constantly distracted by other people who try to persuade him to get married and get a job. This central character defends his relaxed lifestyle by telling his peers that "it ain't no crime".

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave it a 'B+', saying the song needs a bit more edge but that Nichols "does well enough delivering this country boy’s slacker anthem." Matt C. of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs down," criticizing Nichols for not recording substantial songs and saying that "It Ain't No Crime" was "more of the same."

The music video was directed by Kristen Barlowe and premiered in early 2008.

The song debuted at number 45 on the Hot Country Songs chart dated January 19, 2008.
