"No Sense" is a 1983 song from Australian rock band Cold Chisel, and appeared on the album Twentieth Century. Released as double A-side single with "Hold Me Tight" it reached number 14 in the Australian charts. Receiving more radio airplay of the two songs on the single, it appeared on Cold Chisel's early greatest hits compilations. It has been described as being reggae or "almost ska."

The lyrics of the song were inspired by a fan from Wollongong who would send Barnes letters declaring her love and occasionally threatening suicide.

The video was directed by Chilean artist Eduardo Guelfenbein, who had also done the artwork for the album and the picture sleeves. The video featured a slightly different intro to the song.
