"The Look of Love" is a popular song composed by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and originally popularized by the English pop singer Dusty Springfield.

It received a Best Original Song nomination at the 40th Academy Awards. The song partially inspired the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). In 2008, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Dionne Warwick made her own version that was included in her 1969 album, Dionne Warwick's Greatest Motion Picture Hits.
