"Is This Love?" is a song performed by the English singer Alison Moyet and co-written by Moyet and Dave Stewart who co-wrote and produced the song under the pseudonym Jean Guiot. The song was released in November 1986 as the first single from her then-upcoming second album Raindancing.

The music video was filmed at Carlyon Bay near St Austell in Cornwall at the now closed down Cornwall Coliseum entertainment venue, and along Crinnis beach.

In the 29 November 1986 issue of Number One magazine, Max Bell reviewed the single, commenting: "Everyone's favourite big sister holds back the histrionics and resists the temptation of a big Jimmy Iovine production special. I've just heard the single is selling like hot cakes. A definite Number One of course!"
