A Spy in the House of Love is a compilation album by the British alternative rock band The House of Love. It was released in late 1990, between the release of the band's second and third albums (Fontana and Babe Rainbow) and compiles various B-sides and other unreleased studio tracks from the period. The B-sides are from their second self-titled album-era.

Like the band itself, the album was named after the 1954 novel by Anaïs Nin.

The track "Marble" was released as a promotional single in the United States.
