"Ren'ai Shashin" (恋愛写真, Love Photograph) is the 13th single by Japanese singer Ai Otsuka, released on the Avex Trax label. It is also her third and final single released in 2006.

The ballad was used as the theme song of the movie Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru. The title of the movie was originally Heavenly Forest, but was changed to a phrase from the song's lyrics after the director listened to the song.

The b-side, "Hanikami Jane", an upbeat song, was used in a television commercial for Look: a la mode chocolate. The third track is a live version of "Haneari Tamago", a song originally on Otsuka's 3rd album Love Cook.

The single debuted at number 2 during its first week, selling 77,570 copies and making it Otsuka's highest debut sales of the year. "Ren'ai Shashin" was second only to Kisarazu Cat's Eye's "Seaside Byebye". It sold a total of 129,855 copies in 2006, making it the 75th best-selling single of the year.

All tracks written by Ai Otsuka.
