"The One You Love" is a song by American musician and singer-songwriter Glenn Frey, most famous as singer and guitarist for the Eagles. It was released as the lead single from his debut solo album No Fun Aloud, in 1982. Ernie Watts and Jim Horn are featured on the tenor saxophone. Watts plays the repeating theme, while Horn plays the closing solo. The single features the track, "All Those Lies", as the B-side, which is also included in the album.

The song was also one of three of Frey's solo hits performed during the Eagles' 1994–1996 Hell Freezes Over tour, the others being "You Belong to the City" and "The Heat is On", wherein bassist Timothy B. Schmit sings along with Frey. During performances of "The One You Love" on the said tour, Al Garth played the saxophone parts while Don Henley did the drumming.{{cn|date=January 2022}}
