Love Makes No Sense is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Alexander O'Neal. The album was O'Neal's final release for Tabu, and his first album made without formal production from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Sales of the album were not as strong as O'Neal's earlier releases; it went on to peak at number 89 on the US Billboard 200 and reached number 18 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[3] The album launched three charting singles in the United Kingdom: "Love Makes No Sense" peaked at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart; "In the Middle" peaked at number 32; "All That Matters to Me" peaked at number 67.[4] It was O'Neal's first album not to be certified by the BPI, since his 1988 Christmas album, My Gift to You. "All That Matters to Me" and "Since I've Been Loving You" were his fifth and sixth (and last to date) charting songs in Germany, both peaking at number 51.[5][6]

Love Makes No Sense was re-released in 2013 on Tabu's new Re-born imprint, featuring rare bonus content. The reissue is a two-CD set with the original album digitally remastered from the original half-inch mix tapes; the bonus content consists of associated 7-inch and 12-inch mixes.
