"'L'arca di No'" is a 1970 song composed by Sergio Endrigo. The song premiered at the 20th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, with a double performance by Endrigo and Iva Zanicchi, and placed at the third place.

"L'arca di No" was a commercial success, ranking third on the Italian hit parade and becoming a lasting classic. It was also praised by critics, with the 'Corriere della Sera' musical critic Vincenzo Buonassisi describing it as "the only Sanremo Festival song which tried to say something new, to touch open issues for the consciousness of the people of today".

The main tune derived from 'Sedi, Mara, na kamen studencu!' (Sidi Mara) (Aloha Oe!)

A Spanish adaptation of the song, "El Arca de No", was recorded by Jimmy Fontana and peaked at the first place on the Argentine hit parade. An English adaptation, titled "When Love Comes Round Again" and performed by Ken Dodd, reached #19 in the UK Singles Chart.
