Unmistakably Lou is an album by American R&B singer Lou Rawls, released in 1977 on the Philadelphia International Records label. It was Rawls' second PIR album and performed respectably (#14 R&B and #41 pop), although its sales fell well short of his PIR debut All Things in Time. Only one single, "See You When I Git There", was released from the album in the US; alongside "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" and "Lady Love", it remains one of Rawls' best-known PIR songs. Like its predecessor, Unmistakably Lou is a well-regarded album for its mix of high-quality Philadelphia soul songs and other more jazz-influenced tracks (atypical and distinctive for a PIR production). Rawls won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the album in 1978.

In 2005, Unmistakably Lou was reissued by Demon Music in the UK in a double package with All Things in Time.
