"If You Love Me (Let Me Know)" is a song written by John Rostill that was a 1974 hit single for Olivia Newton-John. It was her second release to hit the top 10 in the United States, reaching number 5 on the pop chart and number 2 on the Easy Listening chart.[1] It also reached number 2 on the Billboard country chart.[2] As with her single "Let Me Be There", Mike Sammes sings a bass harmony.[3] It was nominated for the 1974 Country Music Association Award for Single of the Year.[4]

Record World said that "Another John Rostill tune produced in the style of 'Let Me Be There' should guarantee a similar kind of success saga for her follow-up."[5]
