Anti-noise pollution No Aircraft Noise (NAN), sometimes referred to as the No Aircraft Noise Party and officially registered as The Common Cause – No Aircraft Noise, was an Australian political party.{{cite web | author-link = Australian Electoral Commission | access-date = 2007-12-26 }} It sought to remove noise pollution for residents of Sydney that was created by the city's three airports, suggesting that the airports should instead be moved to outer suburbs away from dense residential areas.{{cite web | access-date = 2007-12-26 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071115034040/http://www.noaircraftnoise.org.au/Problem.html |archive-date = 2007-11-15}}

The party's most notable results were a primary vote of 23.65% and two-candidate-preferred vote of 39.55% in the electorate of Marrickville at the 1995 state election, as well as 13.61% in the inner-Sydney electorate of Grayndler ay the 1996 federal election.

At the 1995 local government elections, No Aircraft Noise gained representation in every local government area it contested − two seats in Leichhardt, three in Hunter's Hill and three in Marrickville.
