Love is an unincorporated community in Augusta County, Virginia, United States. Love is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway, within the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.

Situated on the natural route between the Tye River Valley and the Shenandoah Valley, Love had a general store, post office, church and blacksmith. Love was a remote outpost until the Blue Ridge Parkway was constructed in 1936. The parkway changed mountain life and people moved away from homesteading and subsistence farming. The historic Mountain Top church and small cemetery remain. Love Ridge Mountain Lodging, located on the ridge above Love, offers cabins and vacation rentals open year round and shares a border with the Blue Ridge Parkway. Love Ridge was initially conceived of as the Meadow Mountain Campground in the 1950s.

The property includes structures showing the succession of major crops in the area, from tobacco in the 18th and 19th centuries, to apples in the early 20th centuries. The current owner began a vineyard and winery late in the 20th century, partly on land once operated as High View Farm (ca. 1830s), as well as issued in 2005 a conservation easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to protect its natural habitat and rural character.
