"Break the Rules" is a single by British rock band Status Quo in 1974. It was included on the album Quo.[1]

The song was not the band's choice of single as they wanted the track "Backwater" to be the single instead. Some copies of this single were mis-pressed with the moulded label for the track "Lonely Night" on both sides.
