The Power of Love is the second solo album by The Damned guitarist Captain Sensible, released in November 1983 by A&M Records. The album didn't chart but the single "Glad It's All Over" reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] The album features contributions from producer Tony Mansfield, Robyn Hitchcock, Ruts drummer Dave Ruffy and the band Dolly Mixture, among others.

The Power of Love was reissued on CD in 2009 by Cherry Red Records, including seven bonus tracks.[4] For the reissue the track listing was re-sequenced, as Captain Sensible was never happy with the original running order.[2]
