Real Love is the eighth studio album by German recording artist Sarah Connor. It was released by X-Cell Records, a division of the Universal Music Group, on October 22, 2010 in German-speaking Europe. Connor's first album in two years, it involves production by Alexander Geringas, Robin Grubert, Michelle Leonard, and Erik Lewander as well as her frequent contributors Kay Denar and Rob Tyger.

Connor had separated from Marc Terenzi in late 2008. In 2009, she was featured on the Central European version of Enrique Iglesias' song "Takin' Back My Love". Later that year, she released the song "Standing On Top Of The World" as a download, available through a code on Always packaging for a limited time.[4] The song, retitled "Top Of The World", was then included on the deluxe edition of Real Love. In August of 2010, two months before the album's release, Connor made her relationship with Florian Fischer public.

Released to a lukewarm reception by critics,[5] the album debuted at number eight on the German Albums Chart and reached number fifteen and twenty-two in Austria and Switzerland respectively.[6] Altogether, Real Love produced two singles, including "Cold as Ice," which reached the top twenty on the German Singles Chart, and its title track.[7][8] Following the underperformance of the album and both of its singles, Connor went on a hiatus after which she would release the commercially successful German-language album Muttersprache in 2015. Connor would return to English-language material in 2022, with her second Christmas album Not So Silent Night.
