"Not Enough" is a song by the American rock band Van Halen. It was released as the third single from the band's tenth studio album, Balance, and was written by Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen.

Unlike most Van Halen songs, which are mostly hard rock and heavy metal, "Not Enough" is a ballad in the genre of soft rock. And like Van Halen's cover of "You Really Got Me", "Not Enough" is preceded by an instrumental called "Strung Out", which was considered an experiment.

"Not Enough" peaked at No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 27 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and No. 6 on the RPM Top Singles chart, eventually becoming No. 39 on the year-end chart of RPM.
