Love Peace & Fuck is the 2001 debut album by Julian Cope’s side project Brain Donor, released by Impresario records on CD and double LP. It was produced and directed by Cope with the help of long term collaborator Thighpaulsandra. The album was recorded by the power trio of Cope, lead guitarist Doggen Foster and drummer Kevin Bales, both formerly of Spiritualized. Cope plays bass, a role he had not assumed in a band context since The Teardrop Explodes in the early 1980s.

The lyrics center on Cope's then obsession with ancient, pagan cultures, including references to Celtic and Norse folklore, while the music inclines towards The Stooges and 1980s British Heavy Metal. Love Peace & Fuck was described by music critic Aaron Badgley as "pure noise" and "garage rock, prog rock, and...'Krautrock' all rolled into a 2001 sound".

Two singles were released from the album, "She Saw Me Coming" and "Get Off Your Pretty Face".
