Love of My Life is een ballad van het album A Night at the Opera van de Engelse rockband Queen. Een liveversie van het nummer werd uitgebracht als single in juni 1979 en kwam op nummer 1 in Argentinië en Brazilië. Het voorgaande nummer op het album, The Prophet's Song, gaat langzaam over in dit nummer, hoewel de nummers nooit samen live werden gezongen.

"Love of My Life" is a song by the British rock band Queen from their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is a sentimental ballad, notably featuring a harp played by Brian May.

After Queen performed the song in South America in 1981, the version from their live album Live Killers reached number 1 in the singles chart in Argentina and Brazil, and stayed in the charts in both countries for an entire year.

Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first, and May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar for live performances, also lowering the key by a minor third. May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords.
