Fool for Your Loving is a song recorded by British hard rock band Whitesnake. It was originally released on their fourth album Ready an' Willing where it was a Top-20 single on the British charts in 1980. The song was later re-recorded on the band's ninth studio album Slip of the Tongue and became a hit single again in 1989, reaching a high of #2 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks list.

Co-written by David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody, the song was rumored to have been originally written for blues legend B. B. King[1].
