"Computer Love" (German version title: "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. The song, released on a double A-sided single along with "The Model", went on to become number one in 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" (see below under "cover versions").
