'''''No Heavy Petting''''' is the fifth studio album by English rock band [[UFO (band)|UFO]], released in 1976. It is the first UFO album to feature a full-time keyboard player as a member of the band, making this their first record as a five-piece band. While keyboardist [[Danny Peyronel]] only stayed in the band for this one album, he did co-write several tracks on the record.

In 1994, a CD including this album and ''[[Lights Out (UFO album)|Lights Out]]'' was released by BGO Records. Like many CDs in the UFO catalogue, it was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2007.

''No Heavy Petting'' was a rule posted in many public baths in England during the 1970s and 1980s.
