Welcome to My Love is a 1968 studio album by Nancy Wilson, arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson.

Stephen Cook at AllMusic says the album "offers a consistent selection of high-quality standards and strong contemporary material impressively set off by Oliver Nelson's soulfully urbane arrangements." Cook claims that "Wilson's smoky, whispered voice imparts just the right amount of tender drama here while Nelson's dark and restrained string charts keep things from getting syrupy," and he concludes by saying that Wilson "successfully straddled the jazz/soul divide and in the process produced one of her best albums of the 60's."

A 1970 reissue of the album was entitled For Once in My Life and did not include the track "It Never Entered My Mind." In 1994, Capitol released the album on compact disc with its original title and cover, along with an additional bonus track.
