Love, Julie is the ninth studio album by English singer and actress Julie Andrews, released in 1987 by USA Music Group and produced by Bob Florence. It marked Andrews' first solo album in five years, with work on the LP beginning two years earlier. Initially, she had not intended it as a commercial release.

The project began as a deeply personal endeavor—a birthday gift for her husband, director Blake Edwards, who turned 65 on July 26, 1987. Reflecting on its evolution, Andrews explained: "The album was originally recorded as a birthday gift for Blake. However, several people heard it and encouraged me. It just kind of grew from there". She added, "Blake suggested fleshing it out a little, and I think some radio stations have picked it up, which is lovely. It's a happy accident."

The album features a collection of show tunes and love songs, including "Come Rain or Come Shine", "Where or When" and "Tea for Two", performed with minimal accompaniment, allowing Andrews' voice to take center stage. A selection of songs from the album was added in the setlist of the tour the singer was performing that same year. Andrews created the album in collaboration with arranger-musical director Bob Florence. An extended version of Florence's original piece, "A Soundsketch", can be heard in the track entitled "Jewels" on his album called Trash Can City.

In 1999, the British budget record label Hallmark Music & Entertainment re-released the album with a new cover and renamed it Tea for Two (catalog No. 309522).
