Stone Love is the third studio album by American singer Angie Stone, released on June 28, 2004, by J Records. Originally conceived as a collaborative but introspective album which Stone planned to call Diary of a Soul Sister and was expected to feature female singers such as Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan, the album features a wide range of collaborators, including Warryn Campbell, Andreao Heard, Jazze Pha, and Missy Elliott. Duo Floetry, singers Betty Wright, Anthony Hamilton, and Snoop Dogg, as well as Stone's daughter Diamond and her former fiancée, rapper T.H.C., appear on Stone Love.

The album earned generally favorable reviews from music critics who noted its more upbeat, amorous nature and declared it another well-crafted effort from Stone. It reached number six on the Dutch Album Top 100 and entered the top twenty of the albums charts in Belgium, Finland, and Sweden. In the United States, it debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200. Stone Love produced three singles, including the Dance Club Songs chart-topper "I Wanna Thank Ya" as well as the Grammy Award-nominated song "U-Haul". Stone Love would mark Stone's final album with J Records.
