Don't Take It Personal is a studio album by the American singer Jermaine Jackson, released in 1989. The title track became his second and final US R&B #1 single, and was followed by two more top 30 US R&B hits, "I'd Like to Get to Know You" and "Two Ships".

In 2012, the album was reissued by Funky Town Grooves with an extended track listing.

Critical reception

Robert Christgau wrote: "A mild-voiced journeyman whose heyday is 10 if not 20 years behind him, [Jackson]'s equally bland as love man (title hit promises they can still be friends) and stud (though he does thank six foals on the back cover)." The Calgary Herald called the album "a bunch of sappy love songs that aren't particularly good."
