"Computer Love" (German version: "Computerliebe") is a song by the German electronic band Kraftwerk. It was released in 1981 on the studio album Computer World and as a single in the same year. In the UK, the song originally peaked at number 36 before it was released on 7 November 1981 as a double A-side single with "The Model", after which it went on to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart. The song was re-arranged and re-recorded for the band's 1991 studio album The Mix.

The melody of "Computer Love" was later used in Coldplay's song "Talk" on the album X&Y. Prior to release, Coldplay singer Chris Martin asked Kraftwerk for approval.
