"Let's Not Fall in Love" (Korean: 우리 사랑하지 말아요 Uli salanghaji mal-ayo) is a single recorded by South Korean group Big Bang. It was released digitally on August 5, 2015 by YG Entertainment, as the eighth single from MADE Series, and the second from E. The song was announced on July 30, 2015.

Written and composed by member G-Dragon and Teddy Park, "Let's Not Fall in Love" is a pop-rock tune with a classic sentimental dance sound, that was compared to the group’s early single "Blue." The track also features "a variety of vocal samplings, acoustic melodies, and hazy synths." The song was described as gentle and sweet unlike the previous releases from the band, having a solemn tone with a mid-tempo and gentle vocals with a sad mode.

The lyrics speak of a young, hesitant romance that is ultimately more self-centered and defensive than caring, capturing the subtle insecurities of teenage love.Billboard felt that the lyrical content of "Let's Not Fall in Love" encompasses "the scary moments that accompany the start of a relationship", depicting "the pressures and worries of starting a new relationship and committing to a person, and the potential pain that accompanies the risk of opening up to someone." The magazine concluded that the song gives a message "that if you like someone you still will want them to stay despite the fears."

Acting as a complement of the lyrics, the music video highlights the happiness of falling in love through the use of bright colours, and fun and innocent depictions of dates, which is contradicted by the close up shots that emphasise the member's worried faces. While the under exposed and dreamy tone reflects the video as fragments of a memory. The pastel-colored, dreamlike video features the five members running around a hazily-lit school courtyard, each taking on the role of boyfriend to five different models.

This song was well received by both the public and critics. Billboard said that "Let's Not Fall in Love showcases the boy band at their most sentimental", and has a classic Big Bang song feel but with a unique sound because of "lack of a definitive chorus and T.O.P and G-Dragon showing off new vocal colors instead of their usual personality-driven raps." The magazine chose the track as Big Bang's fourth best song, praising the group versatility after nearly a decade on top. Korean website Osen complimented "Let's Not Fall in Love" for being "filled with joyful and fluttering emotions with a young and fresh beauty that was expressed based on a sorrowful emotion."
