Template:Album infobox

No Code is Pearl Jam's fourth album, released on August 27, 1996 through Epic Records.

The album package consists of 144 polaroid photos that unfold into a 2x2 square, and the pictures, when viewed from afar, blend to form the No Code triangle/eyeball logo that is the theme throughout the album. Later pressings of the album fold into a 1x4 strip, thus losing the 'hidden message' effect. These later pressings also include the band name and album title printed directly onto the album cover - the original release contained this information on a removable sticker. Hidden allusions to the central packaging concept are a common trait among many Pearl Jam albums. "Lukin" is named after former Melvins and Mudhoney bassist, Matt Lukin.

"Habit" and "Red Mosquito" contain some of the loudest guitar work in the Pearl Jam catalogue.
