"I Can Love You Better" is the title of a debut song written by Pamela Brown Hayes and Kostas, and recorded by American country music group Dixie Chicks. It was released in October 1997 as the first single from their 1998 album Wide Open Spaces, and was the first hit of the Natalie Maines era of the group.

The song reached number 7 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks, and represented the group's first real commercial success. The song was included in the set list on the Chicks' 2000 Fly Tour, but was not performed again until the 2013 Long Time Gone Tour. The Dixie Chicks performed a parody of the song, "No Letter Better Than B", on Sesame Street.

The song's narrator is assuring a man that she can love him better and make him forget his previous love.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine cited the track as "convincing" in his review of the album for Allmusic.

The music video for "I Can Love You Better" was directed by Chris Rogers. In it, the Dixie Chicks are shown performing the song while in an airport lobby. They are also shown sitting on a moving airport luggage belt, in a bakery, and on a crowded sidewalk. Also, part of the video is filmed in Nashville at A tattoo shop owned by Steve Heusohn, who also appears in the video.
