Wild Is Love, is Nat King Cole's twenty-second studio album, released in 1960.

This is one of the several albums that were arranged by Nelson Riddle. In addition to the Nelson Riddle arrangements, all of the songs featured in Wild Is Love were written by Ray Rasch and Dotty Wayne. The album was structured very similarly to that of Concept albums from artists such as Frank Sinatra, featuring an introduction and ending to the story of the album, as well as having the tracks of the album tell a slight story.

Cole was recorded saying that Wild Is Love was the "the biggest thrill of my recording career."

This album was also Cole's first work with producer, James Ritz.
