"Fools in Love" is a song by British new wave musician Joe Jackson. It was released on his debut album, Look Sharp! in 1979. Written while Jackson was a member of his earlier band Koffee & Kream, the song represented a departure from that band's style and was indicative of Jackson's move in a more cynical direction.

"Fools in Love" was released as a single in the Netherlands, but saw no chart success. The song has since seen positive reception from critics.
