If Not for You is the debut studio album by British-Australian singer-songwriter Olivia Newton-John, released in November 1971 by Festival Records. The album was released on the Pye International label in the UK as Olivia Newton-John, with a slightly different cover.

The album was her first album released by Festival Records, which would release all her albums in Australia until its dissolution in 2005. It also has Newton-John's first works with her long-time musical partner, John Farrar.

As a covers album, If Not for You features mostly songs previously recorded from contemporary artists of the 1960s and early 1970s.

She made several performances to promote If Not for You and her follow-up album, Olivia, including an international tour with British singer Cliff Richard.
