Laser Love is the second album by UK band After the Fire. Released in 1979, the album showcased more of a new wave approach, including much shorter songs than had been featured on the band's more progressive rock-oriented debut album, Signs of Change. It was produced primarily by Muff Winwood.

The album includes the band's only top 40 and biggest hit in the UK, "One Rule for You". Laser Love peaked at No. 57 on the UK Albums Chart.
