"No More Rain (In This Cloud)" is a song by American recording artist Angie Stone. It was written by Stone along with Bert Williams and Gordon Chambers for Stone's debut studio album, Black Diamond (1999), while production was helmed by Stone. The song is built around a sample of the 1972 record "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Due to the inclusion of the sample, original writer Jim Weatherly is also credited as a songwriter.

Arista Records released the song as Stone's solo debut single in July 1999. It earned generally positive reviews from music critics and earned her the 2000 Soul Train Lady of Soul Award for Best Solo R&B/Soul Single as well as a Best New Artist nomination at the 2000 Soul Train Music Awards. On the charts, it reached number nine on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and also topped Billboard's Adult R&B Songs chart. Nigerian photographer and filmmaker Andrew Dosunmu produced an accompanying music video for "No More Rain (In This Cloud)."
