"I Pledge My Love" is a ballad by R&B vocal duo Peaches & Herb from their LP, Twice the Fire. It became a hit in early 1980 in the U.S. (#19) and Canada (#23). It was also a Top 40 R&B and Adult Contemporary hit.

The song had an unusually long chart run for only just making the top-twenty, spending five months on the U.S. charts and six months on the Canadian charts. Billboard ranked it as the 80th biggest U.S. hit of 1980. "I Pledge My Love" also reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart for one week in May 1980.
