Love Is the Law is an album by the American New wave band The Suburbs, released in 1984.
The album cover includes a reproduction of Édouard Manet's "The Dead Toreador", which the band had seen on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. In an interview with Cashbox magazine, Chan Poling said that the band liked the ironic juxtaposition of the album's themes of warmth and love with the coldness of an image of a man lying dead.
The album won two Minnesota Music Award in 1984, for both the Love is the Law album and its title single.
