Wings of Love is the third album by the Italian progressive rock/jazz fusion band Nova. It was released on the Arista label in 1977.^[1]

The album features a mixture of instrumentals and songs, with lead vocals shared between Corrado Rustici and Barry Johnson. The new band members, Johnson on bass and Ric Parnell on drums, both contribute to a more funk-influenced sound than heard on the previous album, Vimana.
