Three Hearts is the second solo album by rock musician and former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Welch.

Just like Welch's previous effort French Kiss, Three Hearts was a commercial success. The album reached number 20 on the US charts in 1979 and went gold.{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/1979-04-07|title=Billboard 200 - April 4, 1979|accessdate=June 21, 2017}} It spawned a hit single, "Precious Love", which peaked at number 19, making it Welch's last top 20 hit. "Church" was also a small hit, and peaked at number 73.{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/293907/bob-welch/chart|title=Billboard Hot 100 - Bob Welch|accessdate=June 21, 2017}} Don't Wait Too Long" is a reworking of "Good Things (Come to Those who Wait)", a Welch composition that had been left off the Fleetwood Mac album Mystery to Me.

The album was reissued by Culture Factory in 2013 in a miniature replica LP sleeve, with 3 bonus cuts including the French version of "Precious Love". However, to this day, the 12-inch extended mix of "Precious Love" has never been released on CD.
