God Says No is a studio album by Monster Magnet, released in 2000 in the UK and 2001 in the US (the two versions differ slightly in their track listings, see below). It was a commercial failure compared to their previous album, Powertrip. It was their last release recorded for A&M Records, due to problems with promotion of the album but it reached #17 in Germany. It would also be the last release with bassist Joe Calandra and drummer Jon Kleiman.

The track "Medicine", which appears on the U.S. release, is a re-recording of a track which originally appeared on the band's 1991 album Spine of God. A music video was made for the 1991 version.

Two different music videos were produced for the song "Heads Explode".
