"Lost in Love" is the title of a popular song from 1980 (see 1980 in music) by the Australian group Air Supply. The song was written by group member Graham Russell and included on their album of the same name.

Air Supply had enjoyed some popularity in their native country during the mid to late 1970s, but the group was largely unknown outside Australia. Russell traveled to England in 1979, and while there, discovered that the group's Australian record label Big Time Records had sold "Lost in Love" to Arista Records in the United States for distribution; soon thereafter, their song became a hit on the music charts in the U.S. [Hyatt, Wesley (1999). "The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits" (Billboard Publications)] The song spent four weeks at #3 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in May 1980. It also topped the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart for six weeks that same year. [Whitburn, Joel (1996). "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits", 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)]

A country music version of "Lost in Love" was recorded later in 1980 by singers Dickey Lee and Kathy Burdick. This cover peaked at #30 on the "Billboard" country music chart.
