Love Cry is a 1968 album by jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, released on Impulse! Records in 1968. It was originally reissued on CD by GRP with two previously unreleased alternate takes and one previously unreleased outtake. The cover claimed that "Universal Indians" is presented as a longer extended edit, but it is actually identical to the original LP. The later twofer CD edition (paired with "The Last Album") discards the bonus tracks.

Love Cry marked the last recorded appearance of Donald Ayler with his brother. Shortly after the recording session, he departed the band and returned to Cleveland.[4]
