"Real Love" was a 1985 single by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers that topped the U.S. country singles charts in August 1985. The song, written by David Malloy, Richard "Spady" Brannon and Randy McCormick, was the title single of Parton's "Real Love" album. Released as "Real Love"'s second single, after the top-ten success of "Don't Call it Love", the song became Parton and Rogers' second country chart-topper. However, "Real Love" did not fare as well on the pop singles charts as 1983's "Islands in the Stream" had done, stalling at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Parton and Rogers embarked on a nine-city U.S. concert tour in February 1985, from which an HBO concert special, "Real Love" was filmed; a music video for the "Real Love" single was produced using footage from the HBO special.
