"Is This Love" is a power ballad by Whitesnake, self-titled album, released (as per the alternate album title) in 1987. Written by lead singer David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes, the song was rumored to have been originally intended for Tina Turner.

The song became one of the biggest hits in 1987, and it further defined Whitesnake as one of the premiere rock groups of the 1980s. It reached number 2 in the US singles chart, and number 9 in the UK Singles Chart.

The music video featured David Coverdale's future wife Tawny Kitaen, who had appeared in the band's earlier video for "Here I Go Again".

The Audio Thieves featuring Uniting Nations covered this song in their 2006 album "Dance Cover".
