Faith No More (soms afgekort tot FNM) is een rockgroep uit San Francisco, Californië. De groep werd in 1982 opgericht. Faith No More is bij het grote publiek waarschijnlijk het bekendst door de hits "Epic", "Midlife Crisis" en "Easy", een cover van de Commodores.

De muziek van Faith No More laat zich omschrijven als een kruising tussen metal, hiphop, funk, popmuziek en progressive rock, en zelfs soul-, jazz- en country-invloeden zijn te horen in enkele liedjes. Hun stijl wordt soms ook wel alternative metal genoemd.

Faith No More is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1979. Before September 1983, the band performed under the names Sharp Young Men and later Faith No Man. Bassist Billy Gould, keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Roddy Bottum and drummer Mike Bordin are the longest-remaining members of the band, having been involved since its inception. The band underwent several early lineup changes, and some major changes later. The lineup of Faith No More consists of Gould, Bordin, Bottum, lead guitarist Jon Hudson, and vocalist/lyricist Mike Patton.

After releasing six studio albums, including best-selling records The Real Thing (1989) and Angel Dust (1992), Faith No More officially announced its breakup on April 20, 1998. The band has since reunited, conducting The Second Coming Tour between 2009 and 2010, and releasing its seventh studio album, Sol Invictus, in May 2015. After the touring cycle of Sol Invictus, Faith No More went on hiatus once again. In November 2019, the band announced that it would reunite to embark on a 2020 UK and European tour, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Touring was due to recommence with 2021–2022 dates, but the tour was cancelled with Patton citing mental health reasons, and the band remains on hiatus as of 2025.
