"No One Like You" is a song by the German heavy metal band Scorpions, written by band members Rudolf Schenker (guitar) and Klaus Meine (vocals). It first appeared on the band's 1982 album Blackout, and was one of three^{[citation needed]} hits from the album. The song also appeared on multiple "Greatest Hits" type albums, including Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads, Bad for Good: The Very Best of Scorpions and Box of Scorpions.

The song reached #65 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It also reached #1 on the US Billboard Rock Tracks chart.

In 1984 the band released a live-version of the song as a taster for their forthcoming live-album World Wide Live. The flipside featured the live-version of their classic "The zoo" appearing also on the live album.

The song was covered by Lagwagon on their 2002 album Let's Talk About Leftovers.

Cover versions of this track are playable in the video games Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and Rock Revolution.

It is also used in an episode of hit TV show, Supernatural, in a season one episode titled "Bugs".

The video for this song is set in the city of San Francisco and features Alcatraz Island with one of the band members being the recipient of capital punishment.

The song was originally written in German and much of the meaning was changed in translation.
