Unforgettable… with Love, also known as simply Unforgettable, is a 1991 album by Natalie Cole, which focuses on covers of standards previously performed by Cole's father, Nat King Cole. Her uncle Ike Cole plays piano on the album. It is also her debut for Elektra Records. Two albums prior to this one (1988's Everlasting and 1989's Good to Be Back) also moved to Elektra after she signed with the label.

Unforgettable… with Love was very successful in the Pop, Jazz, and R&B markets, and was considered "The Comeback" that had been brewing since her late-80's releases. The album was certified 7x platinum as of 2009 by the RIAA, and won the 1992 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Female the same year.
