Doubt is the second album by the British rock band Jesus Jones in 1991 through Food Records, distributed by SBK Records and via Parlophone. The album reached #25 in the US and topped the UK chart.

The booklet of this album said it was recorded in seven days in May 1990, but that "the mixing took a bit longer". While the album had been finished in the spring of 1990, its release was delayed until the beginning of 1991 by the band's label Food Records.

There is a message in the booklet which warns people of "possible damage to musical equipment", it reads:

Warning This album contains extreme sounds which could damage musical equipment when played at high volume

The booklet also gives small descriptions to the songs. For example, "I'm Burning" is subtitled "A re-occurrence of the B-side that was too good syndrome". The booklet also claimes Doubt to be inspired by both legal and pirate radio stations in London.

Jesus Jones have said the songs on the album are primarily about hope, optimism, and enjoying everything around you.
