"Love at First Feel" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track of the international version of their album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released in November 1976 (see 1976 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. The international version was not released in the United States until April 1981 (see 1981 in music).

"Love at First Feel" was not included on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's original Australian edition, released in September 1976, making it one of only two tracks from international AC/DC albums not available on the band's Australian albums. (The other is "Cold Hearted Man", released on European pressings of Powerage.) Conversely, several songs that are available on Australian AC/DC albums have not seen overseas release. However, "Love at First Feel" was released as a single in Australia.

The song is written from the point of view of a person who fell in love with a woman after feeling her for the first time. The woman still lives with her parents, and the speaker has been told that their relationship is "disgusting" and "a sin," implying that the woman is under the legal age of consent. This hypothesis is also supported by singer Bon Scott's not knowing whether his partner is "legal tender" and his suggestion that they "lets something going while [her] mum and dad ain't home."

Singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek does a cover of this track on his album of AC/DC covers entitled What's Next to the Moon.
