Only Love Strangers (Chinese: 陌生人; pinyin: zhī ài mòshēngrén) is a 1999 album by Beijing-based C-pop singer Faye Wong. It contains 10 tracks in Mandarin with bonus Cantonese versions of two of the songs.

The title is from a line of the refrain in track 4 (... 我只爱陌生人, I only love strangers...). Although there is no official English title on the original Chinese version, the lyrics card in the Japanese release bore the English subtitle Lovers and Strangers, and this is sometimes given as the title in English media.[1]

The album sold more than 800,000 copies and reached number one in the album charts of Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.[1]

After the release of Only Love Strangers, Guinness World Records declared Faye Wong the best selling female Cantopop artist of all time.[2]
