Non Abbiamo Bisogno (Italian for We do not need) is a Roman Catholic Church encyclical published on 29 June 1931 by pope Pius XI.

This encyclical begins with the Pope's protest against the closing of Italian Catholic Action and catholic youth ordered by Mussolini, in that same year. Pius XI made protests not just about the closing of these catholic associations, but also against calumnies ordered to be published in Italian press by Mussolini.

Pius also wrote that Mussolini was doing an anti-catholic government. The encyclical was clearly anti-fascist in stance. On 65 verse, the encyclical remembers that Italy entered in fascism with the freemasonry and "liberalism".
