"I Loves You Porgy" is an aria from the opera "Porgy and Bess" with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin. It was published in 1935.

"I Loves You Porgy" has been recorded by a number of popular vocalists and jazz musicians. Nina Simone's recording of the song (from "Little Girl Blue", 1958) was a Top 40 hit in the United States in 1958. Bill Evans's piano trio version recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, available on the CD re-issue of the album "Waltz for Debby", is also acclaimed.

Pop diva Whitney Houston sang "I Loves You Porgy" as the beginning of a medley at the 1994 American Music Awards .
