No More Glory is the debut solo studio album by American rapper MJG. The album was released on November 18, 1997, via Suave House/Universal Records. The recording sessions took place at Urban House Studios in Houston. The album was produced by Mo-Suave-A Productions Inc. It features guest appearances from 8Ball, Bun B, Rodney Ellis, and the Fedz.

In the United States, the album peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 and number 4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It received a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America on March 6, 1998, for the sales of 500,000 copies in the US alone.

MJG had already released three albums as a part of the group 8Ball & MJG, but following 1995's On Top of the World, the two rappers decided to each release a solo album before continuing as a group. This was the first solo released from the group, 8Ball would release his solo debut, Lost, in 1998. The album's title is a reference to the confederate flag and its nickname "Glory".
