Enough Is Enough is the fifth studio album by Billy Squier, released on September 27, 1986. It was the first album to be released under his second seven-year Capitol Records recording contract.

The disc peaked at #61 on the Billboard album chart^[4] and included the minor hit "Love Is the Hero" which featured Freddie Mercury on backing vocals. Despite mostly positive critical reception, Enough Is Enough was a commercial disappointment and sold about 300,000 copies in the United States, making it his first album since 1980's The Tale of the Tape to not reach platinum status.
